The 13th Annual High 5 Classic date has been set.  This year’s tournament will be held on Saturday, August 15, 2026 at Northern Hills Golf Course in Rochester, MN. 

The High 5 Foundation is a Rochester, Minnesota-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to creating opportunities for youth and supporting children battling childhood cancer. The foundation was created with the belief that every child deserves the opportunity to participate, grow, and succeed regardless of financial circumstances. Through community support and fundraising efforts, the High 5 Foundation helps remove barriers and create meaningful opportunities for children while living out its mission of “Working Today to Change Tomorrow.”

The High 5 Foundation was established in 2013 with the goal of giving back and making a difference in the lives of children and families facing challenges. The foundation was inspired by personal experiences and a desire to help others who may be going through difficult times.

As a child, I experienced hardships and difficult financial times. During that period, my family relied on the support and generosity of others to help us get through. Looking back, I know I would not be where I am today without the organizations and people who stepped in and provided assistance when we needed it most. Those experiences stayed with me and became the driving force behind creating the High 5 Foundation—to pay it forward and provide the same hope and opportunities to others.

Today, the High 5 Foundation works to help youth by providing sports equipment and participation assistance to children who may not otherwise have the opportunity to participate in athletics. We believe sports help build confidence, leadership, teamwork, and lifelong skills. In addition, the foundation provides assistance and support to children battling childhood cancer, helping bring encouragement and support during difficult journeys.

The organization’s mission statement is:

“Working Today to Change Tomorrow.”

This mission reflects our commitment to investing in youth, creating opportunities, and making a lasting impact in our communities.
