The Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in Lead, South Dakota, recently honored Black Hills Energy with the 2020 Communication and Outreach Experiences in Sciences (CORES) award.

The CORES Award is given annually to an individual, group, business or organization that supports STEM education and outreach within the region. The recipient is selected by a committee that takes into consideration ongoing support of science education – whether through sponsorships or service – a passion for science education and a visible commitment to science outreach in the region.

“We truly appreciate Black Hills Energy’s strong commitment to sharing the world-leading science being performed at SURF with science learners of all ages,” said Mike Headley, executive director of SURF. “They’ve been a great partner for more than a decade – from when we first began to build the Sanford Underground Research Facility all the way through today as we construct the largest science experiment ever attempted on U.S. soil.”

We partner with our communities and customers, providing the kind of energy that fuels those areas and the lives of those we serve. Feel free to share the stories and photos. Make sure to tag us on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and Twitter.
