We raised a record breaking amount in 2025! We'll be back in 2026 with more teams, more networking, and more fun..
until The Hammer. Get your costumes ready.
A Minnesota Pastime Doubles as a Hearts & Hammers Tradition
The goal of our annual bonspiel (curling jargon for “tournament”) is simple: create a fun event for commercial real estate professionals to network, embrace a classic Minnesota pastime, and most importantly, give back to our community.
Plus, who doesn’t love a little friendly competition!
Since 2014, The Hammer has raised $318,500, which has helped us rehabilitate and preserve the homes of hundreds of low-income seniors, veterans, and disabled homeowners. We’re incredibly grateful for all of the support this event receives.
Join us to watch the championship matches and wander across the parking lot for a networking happy hour at the Happy Gnome!
