The 2026 Chopper Golf Championship, the CJF Live Auction, the Brandon Jones Band, and the afterparty made up a picture-perfect day! Saturday, July 18, 2026 was for sure a special one as it was Chopper Johnson Day in Yankton and the 10-year anniversary.
On behalf of the Chopper Johnson Foundation and the Johnson Family, we want to thank the entire field of golfers, volunteers, donors, sponsors, auction participants, Dustin Wheeler, Michael Drotzmann, Hillcrest Golf & Country Club, friends, family, and the CJF Board for a top-notch day.
For the Chopper Johnson Foundation, these past 10 years have been incredible. It would not have been possible without the support of so many who have contributed.
