On September 29th, 2024, the Sioux Falls community came together in an incredible show of support for the “Miles for Miles” event, held to benefit the Engberg family. Miles Engberg, the 5-year-old son of Sioux Falls Firefighter Eric Engberg, is courageously battling Batten Disease, and the outpouring of generosity was truly inspiring.

This family-friendly event included a delicious meal and exciting activities such as the Kids Firefighter Challenge, a thrilling bike course, and the Kids SWAT Laser Tag Course. Local first responders, including firefighters, police officers, and 911 dispatchers, enjoyed these fun-filled activities with their families, making it a day to remember.

We are thrilled to announce that the silent auction and event activities raised over $25,000 for the Engberg family. This amount will go towards helping Miles and his family during this challenging time.
A huge thank you to everyone who participated, donated, and volunteered. Your kindness and generosity are what make our community so special. Together, we are making a difference in the lives of those who give so much to protect and serve us. #MilesForMiles #SiouxFallsStrong #FirstRespondersFamily #BattenDiseaseAwareness
