For 47 years, the Killebrew-Thompson Memorial in Sun Valley, Idaho, has gathered celebrities, members of Congress, corporate sponsors, participants, and supporters with one common goal: to find a cure for cancer. Founded in 1977 by baseball Hall of Famer Harmon Killebrew and Idaho Congressman Ralph Harding in memory of the Minnesota Twins' shortstop, Danny Thompson, the Killebrew-Thompson is consi
dered one of the leading fundraisers of its kind for cancer research. The event proceeds benefit two recipients: St. Luke's Cancer Institute in Boise and the Masonic Cancer Center, University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. We are proud to share that 2023 marked the most significant contribution in the organization's history, totaling $1,600,000 to our beneficiaries. Due to the dedicated commitment of our supporters over the years, the KT has raised over $23 million which has gone directly to cancer research. Our beneficiaries leverage these funds through various matching grant programs, increasing the impact of our donation by up to 5 million dollars annually.
