Attention Wellington West community, (and neighbours!). Lace-up, bundle up and get ready for a virtual 2K Challenge presented by Run Ottawa and in support of the Ottawa Heart Institute.
Wellington West BIG HEART MONTH Virtual 2K Challenge
Events organized by the University of Ottawa Heart Institute Foundation help raise dollars to ensure the Heart Institute remains a special place of healing, caring and learning. By attending and supporting the Foundation events, you become an integral part of the Heart Institute’s journey.
Heart Institute Signature Fundraising Events
Thank you to our volunteer committees, sponsors, coaches and participants, these events would not be possible with you!
Community Events
Galas, gourmet get-togethers, golf tournaments, family running weekends, informative presentations, and heart-wise education — our busy calendar has something for everyone. Learn, socialize, change your life, and support heart health too: it’s all here in the year ahead.
Plan An Event
Every year, many individuals and groups from our community raise money for the University of Ottawa Heart Institute Foundation by hosting their own Community Events. These events include everything from pier to pier fundraising to extravagant galas.
Are you ready to organize your own fundraising event?
