LOS ANGELES, Calif. - Her Turn, a non-profit organization founded by South Dakota State's Myah Selland and Tori Nelson, was named the recipient of the annual Gatorade Community Grant Tuesday at the Gatorade Player of the Year Awards. The grant will provide $25,000 to Her Turn, which provides sport opportunities to girls in Brookings who may not otherwise have the chance.
As a past Gatorade Player of the Year honoree, Selland was eligible to apply for the grant on behalf of an organization of her choice. Her Turn will use the funds to further its scholarship program. The grant will greatly support the longevity of Her Turn and become a more sustainable resource for the Brookings community.
"We are so incredible honored to be recognized by Gatorade for our efforts in advancing equity in youth sports," said Selland. "We are grateful for the opportunity to share more about Her Turn and our mission to a national audience."
Selland and Nelson traveled to Los Angeles Tuesday to officially receive the grant at the Gatorade Player of the Year Awards. In conjunction with the Gatorade event, the duo was also invited to attend the ESPYs Wednesday evening.
More information on Her Turn, including how to get involved, can be found at HerTurnSD.org.

ABOUT HER TURN
Her Turn is a scholarship program designed to provide sport opportunities to young girls within the Brookings community who may not otherwise have the chance. Recipients of a Her Turn scholarship will be able to attend an SDSU athletic camp of their choice at no cost to their family. Not only will a scholarship recipient attend an athletic camp, but they will also experience a college campus, build relationships, and interact with positive female role models. In addition, Her Turn strives to reduce any barrier families commonly face in sport experiences. Her Turn will work with families to provide transportation to and from the camp, as well as provide necessary equipment to attend the camp.Â
Her Turn is affiliated with the Brookings Foundation. We have an advisory committee assembled of extremely compassionate, dedicated, and knowledgeable community members. This committee will be responsible for narrowing down the applications to find young girls within the Brookings community who would most benefit from an experience like this.
