About Operation Cares
In March of 2003, the Sioux Falls Skyforce created a charity to benefit family members of soldiers who were sent overseas for service. Operation Cares was launched with the help of over 20 Sioux Falls businesses. This effort has raised nearly $200,000 for military families in need over the years. All proceeds have gone to help military families with everyday needs such as car repairs, groceries, home repairs, etc.
Season tickets, flex packs, and single-game tickets are on sale now. Discounts and benefits are available for groups of 10 or more. For more information, please contact a Skyforce representative by visiting the front office at 2131 S. Minnesota Avenue or by calling at (605) 332-0605.
