The Sunrise Foundation has a busy week.
The group is part of the local online fundraiser, which covers the state of North Dakota with a powerful message âa heart â, and it is being displayed by local businesses.
In addition to online donations, the foundation will have people at Lasting Visions and the Frontier Travel Center for those people who want to physically hand over donations Thursday morning.
Not only will it have in impact in Bowman County and surrounding areas, but also it will do much more, according to director Barbi Narum.
âIt will be for people who want to drop off checks and not donate online,â she explained about the two local donation locations.
Hard as it is to believe now, things actually did occur in 2020 that were mostly beyond the scope of the COVID-19 pandemic.
That was a fact we realized as we compiled our year-end list of top stories. COVID-19 was so overwhelming in its impact and received its own section for review, which ran in Saturdayâs Press & Dakotan.
Today, we present the top five ânon-COVIDâ local stories of 2020 â some of which may have been lost in our memories once the coronavirus took over.
The P&D news staff selected the Yankton School District opt-out as the top story of 2020. Voters approved it in February after similar efforts were rejected in 2011 and 2012.
