Brian Olson died in 1999 from colorectal cancer at age 39. His friends joined together to start a golf tournament in his memory, now in its 22nd year. Together the 130+ golfers who play and donate every year, have raised more than $550,000 for cancer care at St. Luke’s Cancer Institute, making it one of St. Luke's largest community-managed fundraisers. Proceeds from past tournaments paid for 25,000 free at-home colon cancer screening kits and pilot programs that have become a standard of care today. Currently, tournament funds are supporting local participation in a study investigating the increase in early onset colorectal cancer and cover the cost of a colonoscopy for financially qualifying individuals who cannot afford one.
