The Trent Tucker Non-Profit Organization was established as a way for former Gopher and NBA player, Trent Tucker, to give back to his community. Trent is a strong believer in community partnership, working together to provide a better environment for our children and families.

Trent started the first celebrity golf tournament of its kind in Minneapolis in 1998. The fundraiser’s featured guest, Michael Jordan, has returned each year along with a host of Trent’s other NBA friends. Over the past eight years, the Trent Tucker Celebrity Golf Tournament has grown into a premier event in Minneapolis drawing in celebrity athletes and entertainers from across the nation. With the help of everyone involved, this event has raised over $1,000,000 for local charities and the Trent Tucker Youth Program.

But Trent didn’t stop there. In 2001, after researching the needs of the community, he started the Trent Tucker Youth Program. He found the most need to be in after school programming for middle school students, who are at a critical stage in life where they can easily veer off course. The Trent Tucker Youth Program helps inner city middle school students to develop their character and leadership skills, provides career and educational opportunities, and promotes students to take positive risks. This unique program has also partnered with corporate sponsors, General Mills and Campbell Mithun, to provide one-on-one tutoring and mentoring with employees of the company. Trent’s hope for each student is to have the opportunity to realize their fullest potential.

 

 

 


Due to the lack of sponsorship dollars the 9th Annual Trent Tucker Celebrity Golf & Poker Tournament has been cancelled. We hope you will continue to support our event in the future.
