Hayden’s Heart Sixth Annual Golf Outing will be held Friday, July 27 at White Deer Golf Course, Montgomery, to raise funds for Timothy Wooldridge and family from Bellevue, PA. Less than a year old, Timothy is currently waiting for a heart transplant after being diagnosed with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS).

The golf tournament is a fundraising event organized by Hayden’s Heart Inc., a nonprofit created by Rob and Ady (Smith) Dorsett, formerly of Williamsport, whose son died of a congenital heart defect in August 2012 at five months old. In the past five years, Hayden’s Heart golf tournaments in particular have raised approximately $70,000 and supported over ten heart families.

The mission of Hayden’s Heart is to raise congenital heart disease awareness, help keep Hayden’s memory alive, and to assist families with their immense medical bills and travel expenses. The organization hosts numerous fundraisers each year in memory of Hayden, choosing a fellow heart family whose child is beating the odds to be the beneficiary.

Funds raised by the golf tournament will benefit the Wooldridge family as well as support other initiatives within the organization, such as care packages, getaways for bereaved families, retreats, unexpected travel and medical expenses and more.

Registration for the event begins at 8 a.m., with a shotgun start of 9 a.m. Contests will be played throughout the course and a complimentary beer cart and hot dogs will be provided on the course. The registration costs $95 for single players and $380 for a foursome.

Following the tournament, participants are invited to a complimentary lunch where winners and awards will be announced and prizes will be awarded.
