• Eggs, glorious eggs. Dakota Layers this week dropped off 10,800 eggs. It's the tenth year the business has donated a dozen eggs for every free throw made by SDSU men's and women's basketball teams on their home court during the regular season.
    • That partnership expanded this year with a partnership with SDSU guard Luke Haertle, who used his platform to raise awareness about Feeding South Dakota. Dakota Layers also donated a dozen eggs for each of Haertle's 110 points scored this season. You can learn more here about Feeding South Dakota's mission to end hunger.
