The Iron Man Memorial

Honoring Mark “Iron Man” Kumpf

Mark “Iron Man” Kumpf was more than a fighter — he was an inspiration.

In 2017, Mark was diagnosed with Stage IV colon cancer. Doctors delivered the kind of news that most people would find impossible to face. Multiple “inoperable” diagnoses, years of chemotherapy, and surgeries that many believed could not be done stood in front of him.

But Mark never stopped fighting.

After seeking care at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Mark underwent multiple high-risk surgeries that doctors described as nothing short of miraculous. One of his surgeons famously described him as “half Energizer Bunny, half tank.” From that moment on, the nickname that captured his spirit was born — Iron Man.

Through countless treatments, hospital stays, and unimaginable challenges, Mark never complained. Instead, he showed strength, humility, humor, and determination that inspired everyone around him — his doctors, nurses, fellow patients, family, friends, and community.

Mark believed his journey could help others. Even during his own fight, he cared deeply about people facing the same battle.

The Iron Man Memorial Golf Tournament was created to honor Mark’s legacy of courage and resilience while supporting those who are currently fighting cancer.

This event is organized by the Huntingdon County United Way, with tournament proceeds designated to support the Bob Perks Cancer Assistance Fund, which provides direct financial support to individuals and families in our community facing cancer.

Together, we gather not only to remember Mark, but to continue the spirit in which he lived — strong, determined, and always fighting for others.

Join us in honoring Mark’s legacy.

Once an Iron Man — Always an Iron Man.
