Legends For Kids

Who We Are

The Hy-Vee/Sanford Legends promotes the physical well-being for our youth of today, as well as generations to come.

The Legends is a partnership between two of the community’s major organizations (Hy-Vee and Sanford) who strive and encourage our kids to be the very healthiest they can be.

The Hy-Vee and Sanford Legends wants every child to have the opportunity to participate in wellness programs and strive to be a healthier generation than the last.

Every year the Legends Grant Program gives back thousands of dollars to help build our local teams, facilities, and much more.

It is through the great sacrifices and generosity of our sponsors, coaches, and volunteers giving their time and talents that the Legends events have been able to continue to grow and give back so much more than they have received over our existence.

Our mission started and remains today, the one model which makes us strive for excellence every day, “It’s All About the Kids!”

Our mission is to play a part in providing our area’s youth with the tools and confidence to help them make the right decisions in life. We believe that sports can play a healthy role in their lives by teaching self discipline, teamwork, leadership, and strategic thinking skills while building self-confidence. To provide our youth with the opportunity to experience the positive influence of sports, we provide an annual event where our youth can gather for FREE specialized training in multiple sports.

The sessions will be conducted by professional athletes and the region’s best college and high school coaches who have been recognized as positive role models on and off the field. Parents and coaches will also be able to participate in clinics designed to help them further understand their role as mentors, while sharpening their coaching skills.

Hy-Vee and Sanford have partnered together to create one of the biggest fundraisers for youth in the entire region. The Legends Banquet has been a major factor in bringing the community together to raise money for local youth. Whether it is the Celebrities, the philanthropy, the live or silent auction items, or dinner with friends, the Legends Banquet draws one of the biggest annual crowds for a remarkable purpose. Come be a part of this great cause and help all of us celebrate and remember “It’s all about the Kids."
