The Bush Foundation has established a $25,000 challenge grant for the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe of South Dakota and it looks like the goal will be met.
The money will go to the tribe's emergency fund. Hundreds of families on the reservation are still recovering from a major winter storm that knocked out power and water on the reservation.
Running Strong for American Indian Youth already pledged $12,500 towards the challenge goal.
