We hope you have all had an enjoyable off-season. Your annual golf tournament in support of CHEO Cardiology is just around the corner!! This year's event will once again be a shotgun-style start and best ball format, held at Greensmere Golf and Country Club on Saturday, June 16, 2012. And yes, the IPAD3 will be making an appearance....
Your Tournament Committee is hard at work building on the success of last year by planning for what we hope is a true sellout of 144 players. Spread the word to friends and family, and let them know that this is the event they don't want to miss out on. Our popular contests and games will be back with a few new surprises.
We are happy to announce that the 2012 entry fee is being held at $110/player and that includes your green fee, power cart, dinner and a $20 donation to CHEO. As always we are happy to accept donations and prizes of any size. If you are interested in sponsorship opportunities, please contact us so that we can let you know what is available.
New for this year is our online registration tool where you can simply enter your name and email address (and teammates, if applicable). The less email, the better, right?
We will keep you updated as we progress towards tee-off time!!

CHEO's Cardiology Department has begun utilizing the funds raised by the Heart of Champions Golf Tournament to improve the every day experience of local cardiac children and their families.
The proceeds from the 2010 golf tournament were presented to Dr. Jane Lougheed, Head of CHEO's Cardiology Department, in a presentation before the cardiac team in November 2010. Members of the department recently purchased new decor for several examinations rooms from the proceeds. The exam rooms are currently decorated in early 1990s motif. The Cardiology Department plans to create theme rooms based on the planets, safari, aquatics, and farm animals and expend further proceeds on movies and cartoons to bring additional comfort to children during their routine cardiac examinations and lengthy hospital stays.
Some long-term plans include the purchase of new comfortable chairs for parents and new activity tables for the children in the waiting areas. The remaining proceeds raised by the Heart of Champions Golf Tournament will be invested towards the committee's long-term goal of purchasing a portable echocardiogram machine for use throughout the hospital and in remote areas CHEO services in the north.
