The Danny Thompson Memorial, named for a former Minnesota Twins and Texas Rangers infielder, is in its 31st year as a charity and celebrity tournament raising money for leukemia and cancer research.

Last year's Thompson golf proceeds hit a record $760,000. Proceeds of over $8.6 million over 30 years have been distributed to the Mountain States Tumor Institute in Boise and University of Minnesota Cancer Research Center.
