For over a decade, the Avera Foundation has hosted the annual Avera Guardian
Awards to honor individuals, couples, families or organizations who join with
Avera to carry on its mission to have a positive impact on the lives of persons
and communities. The 2023 event was held Aug. 8, as Avera welcomed friends,
employees, volunteers and sponsors to share in the announcement of this year’s
awardees.

“Just as the Sisters collaborated and answered a call to start a health care
system, we carry on their legacy of caring. We are honored to celebrate those
who have made exceptional efforts to help the individuals and families we serve
across our health ministry,” said Dzenan Berberovic, Chief Philanthropy Officer
at Avera.

Avera has numerous generous donors across its 72,000 square mile footprint. “The
Guardian Awards are an opportunity for us to recognize and show appreciation to
a few who have continuously gone above and beyond,” Berberovic said.

2023 Guardian Award Recipients

• Mike and Cindy Huether received the Individual, Couple or Family award,
celebrating transformative and substantial philanthropic support to Avera.
Over the past three years, Mike and Cindy have been instrumental in leading the
campaigns to bring two lifesaving and transformational projects to Avera, the
Home for Hope Campaign for Kirby Place at Walsh Family Village and the Light the
Way Campaign for the Helmsley Behavioral Health Center.
Because of Mike and Cindy’s leadership, each campaign exceeded its goal. In
fact, the Light the Way Campaign has become the largest behavioral health
fundraising campaign in the Midwest, raising more than $32 million to date.

“Lives are changed every day because of Mike and Cindy’s service to others,
especially to those who are vulnerable, poor and marginalized. Their
selflessness has inspired hundreds of others to support these vital campaigns,”
Berberovic said.

• The Scottish Rite Foundation of South Dakota received the Business,
Organization or Foundation award, recognizing loyalty to Avera through
philanthropic support, volunteerism, corporate give and engagement.
The Scottish Rite Foundation of South Dakota is dedicated to providing speech
therapy resources for children who otherwise would not have access to these
services. Since 2013, they have donated more than $450,000 to Avera St. Luke’s
Hospital in Aberdeen, S.D., and Avera Queen of Peace Hospital in Mitchell, S.D.,
to provide these services at no cost to area children. Because of their
generosity, hundreds of children throughout the Avera footprint have benefited
from free speech therapy, learning comprehension services, and social skills
programming.

Thanks to support from the Scottish Rite group, Avera St. Luke’s has also been
able to upgrade toys and equipment in their Scottish Rite room, located at the
Avera Therapy Center. Tanner White, FACHE, CHFP, Director of Business
Development, Integrated Therapies and Network Operations pointed out that this
helps Avera stay up to date with the best equipment available for delivering
quality patient care.

The Scottish Rite Foundation began providing support to Avera St. Luke’s in 2013
and Avera Queen of Peace in 2019.

• Thomas Otten received the Avera Employee award, given to an Avera employee for
inspiring their peers through personal generosity to Avera.

Otten, Assistant Vice President of Avera Behavioral Health Services, helped
champion the Light the Way Campaign as a member of the campaign cabinet.
Moreover, he inspired countless gifts through his life’s work. Thomas inspired
peers and Avera Behavioral Health Hospital colleagues to provide support at
record levels. Thanks to Thomas’ leadership, the Light the Way Campaign far
exceeded its goal of raising a minimum of $18 million over a three-year
timeframe. The campaign raised $18 million in under 100 days, and during the
three-year timeframe the campaign has raised more than $32 million. Every dollar
will support patients facing unimaginable mental well-being challenges.
