Tee Off Against Cancer
The Ribbon Research Open is an annual charity golf tournament hosted by Nu-Tek BioSciences and The Hormel Institute, University of Minnesota, at the Austin Country Club. This community event unites golfers, families, and businesses in the fight against cancer by raising vital proceeds for cutting-edge research.
Born from a legacy of local memorial tournaments, the Ribbon Research Open honors all those impacted by cancer while supporting breakthroughs in breast, prostate, lung, brain, and other cancer research. The best part? 100% of proceeds raised go directly to cancer research—no administrative overhead.
