Airshow Donation Creates Lasting Legacy | Pierre News

A historic $370,000 donation from the Let Freedom Fly International Air Show has created a permanent endowment for the Capital Area United Way, ensuring lasting community impact. Organized by local pilots Jim and Cathy Peitz, the 2024 airshow featured iconic aircraft like Jim’s P51D Mustang “Dakota Kid II” and raised funds that now generate annual support—$17,000 last year—while preserving the principal. Managed by the South Dakota Community Foundation, this legacy fund complements the United Way’s $585,000 annual goal, proving that visionary community efforts can build enduring solutions for local needs.
