Thank you!
Thank you for supporting the 11th Annual Jeanne Fuller Red Dress Golf Charity Classic. We had an incredible day on the greens at Loch March Golf and Country Club.
A great day was had by all who attended and supported the event and, collectively, our community raised $147,000 towards support for the Canadian Women’s Heart Health Centre at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute!
We look forward to seeing you all again next year!

February is Heart Month and it provided an amazing opportunity to bring people together to raise awareness – and essential funds – for the University of Ottawa Heart Institute. Our sincere thanks to our sponsors, community champions, partners, event organizers and participants, volunteers, and donors.
Our new building – the Heart Institute’s first major expansion since its founding more than 40 years ago – will be completed in early 2018. This expansion will allow the Heart Institute to address patient needs for the long term, treating more patients on an ongoing basis with an increased focus on specialized cardiac needs. As the building nears completion, our focus is on purchasing the highly specialized equipment it will require.
Thank you for supporting the University of Ottawa Heart Institute Foundation. Your generosity goes straight to the heart of care in your community because we simply couldn’t do what we do, without you!
