Beaumont, Grosse Pointe Classic Benefits Cardiac Care

On Monday, June 24, the Grosse Pointe Classic will be hosted at the Country Club of Detroit. Funds raised at this annual event will benefit the renovation of the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory at Beaumont, Grosse Pointe. Approximately 200 participants are expected to play golf, play pickleball or join a Chicago-style bridge tournament, followed by cocktails, a strolling dinner, gifts and prizes. Landmark Healthcare Facilities and Flagstar Bank are among the sponsors supporting the event.

Powell Corbett and Julie Kaiser, both of Grosse Pointe Farms, are the 2019 event co-chairs. “We are honored to chair this important event,” said Julie Kaiser. “The outing is a great opportunity to support our community’s hospital and to have a hand in its growth.”

“Last year, we were proud to raise more than $226,000 to benefit Beaumont Grosse Pointe’s Breast Care Center and the creation of a new hybrid surgical suite,” added Powell Corbett. “This year, our fundraising efforts will concentrate on support for the many area residents suffering from heart issues.”

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, causing 600,000 deaths annually. Cardiac catheterization allows physicians to conduct a multitude of diagnostic tests and perform corrective procedures including angioplasty; identifying and correcting congenital heart defects; checking the function and viability of heart valves; and implanting cardiac pacemakers.

Reservations for golf, bridge and pickleball are available. To find out more, purchase tickets or become a sponsor, visit www.beaumont.org/giving/foundation-events
