The Killebrew-Thompson Memorial is dedicated to finding a cure for cancer. Since 1977, KTM has raised nearly $26 million to advance critical cancer research and patient care at St. Luke's Cancer Institute and the Masonic Cancer Center, University of Minnesota, through an annual three-day charity event held in Sun Valley, ID. 

Baseball Hall of Famer Harmon Killebrew and Congressman Ralph Harding established the memorial golf tournament in honor of Danny Thompson, a Major League shortstop who died from leukemia at the age of 29. The guest list for the inaugural event included President Gerald Ford, Speaker of the House Thomas “Tip” O’Neill, Mickey Mantle, and Joe DiMaggio. When Harmon Killebrew lost his own battle with esophageal cancer in 2011, the tournament was renamed the Killebrew-Thompson Memorial in memorial.

Fifty years in the running, KTM is now one of the leading cancer research fundraisers of its kind. What began as a golf tournament among friends has expanded beyond the golf course into a three-day affair showcasing the best of Sun Valley.
