Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation 29th Annual Golf Classic on Monday, June 21, 2010 at Olympic Hills Golf Club, Eden Prairie

The Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation Golf Classic is our longest running fundraising event. In its 29th year, this event was implemented by the late Jerry Kiernan. A dear friend to the organization, Jerry created a small golf outing to raise money to support the research being done by his physician and other doctors who believed then, and still believe now, that we can enhance longevity and the quality of life for millions through improved cardiovascular health. We hope you will join us, whether it is for the first or the 29th time, to experience the excitement and joy that is the Golf Classic.
