Austin, Minn. – PTTP is a community-led annual campaign to raise funds for innovative research to accelerate answers to cancer.
“We hope every individual who donates and every organizer who works hard to raise funds for PTTP knows how important their support is to move cancer research forward. They are on the front lines with our researchers as together we work to prevent and control cancer and find better therapies to treat it,” said Gail Dennison, Director of Development and External Relations.
Since it started in 2011, PTTP has raised nearly $3 million for cancer research at The Hormel Institute.
“The community of Austin and communities throughout the region are amazing in their generous support of this important work. The Hormel Institute thanks every person who contributes. We all know every dollar, every cancer, and every person matters,” said Dennison.
The 2024 PTTP event lineup included returning favorites like Plunging for Pink and Fishing for a Cure. There was also a new event: Austin Bruins Black & Gold Gala, which was held at Austin Country Club.

“Cancer touches everyone including the families and friends of our players. Our new owner Brian Raduenz lost one of his closest friends to cancer so the PTTP campaign is meaningful and important to all of us.”
