The Toby Foundation was created by a group of hospitality professionals to honor their late colleague, Toby Landgraf, by supporting the next generation of leaders in the hospitality industry. In partnership with University of Wisconsin-Stout, Hospitality Minnesota Education Foundation, ACF Minneapolis Chapter, and Upper Midwest Chapter of CMAA. The annual Toby Tournament has raised more than $600,000 since 1986. These funds have provided scholarships to over 500 Minnesota hospitality students, helping them pursue and advance their education and careers.

The Toby Tournament is an excellent way for hospitality professionals to come together in support of these students and provide for future professionals within the hospitality industry.

SAVE THE DATE for the 40th Toby - Monday, August 10, 2026!!
