Killebrew-Thompson Memorial | Taking a swing at cancer since 1977.
August 14–16, 2025 | Sun Valley Resort, Idaho
Every August, the Killebrew-Thompson Memorial (KTM) brings together a powerful community of supporters to Sun Valley, Idaho, united by a shared mission: to fund a cure for cancer. Celebrating its 49th anniversary this year, the 2025 event will take place August 14–16 at the iconic Sun Valley Resort.
Founded in 1977 by Idaho’s own Baseball Hall of Famer Harmon Killebrew and Congressman Ralph Harding, the Memorial honors Minnesota Twins shortstop Danny Thompson, who lost his life to leukemia at just 29. What began as a small charity golf
tournament has grown into one of the nation’s premier cancer research fundraising events, drawing business leaders, philanthropists, sponsors, and participants from across the country.
A Legacy of Impact
To date, KTM has donated $24.5 million to its beneficiaries—the Masonic Cancer Center at the University of Minnesota and St. Luke’s Cancer Institute in Boise—supporting clinical trials, breakthrough treatments, and compassionate patient care. These funds are amplified 5 to 9 times by matching support, dramatically increasing their reach and impact.
