Do you know what got Anna Kiefl so interested in being part of the Jeanne Fuller Red Dress Charity Golf Classic in support of the University of Ottawa Heart Institute? Great prizes and auction items, free cocktails, and an anything-goes attitude about whether you can actually swing a golf club.
Lauren Parkes with her mom, keynote speaker Anna Kiefl, at the Jeanne Fuller Red Dress Charity Golf Classic in support of the University of Ottawa Heart Institute and held at the Loch March Golf and Country Club on Monday, September 12, 2016.
She’s been playing each and every year in the tournament at the Loch March Golf and Country Club in Kanata, helping to raise money for the Canadian Women’s Health Heart Centre. This year’s 10th annual event on Monday was particularly special because the tournament reached the accumulative $1-million mark, much to the delight of the co-chairs for the past eight years, certified coach practitioner Marion Martell and Mary Browne from major sponsor Royal LePage Team Realty.
But, the most valuable gift that the 156 female golfers take home with them at the end of the day is not the swag; it’s the heightened awareness.
For Kiefl, she’s learned how to identify the subtle female symptoms of a heart attack. When she started experiencing sore teeth while exercising some 18 months ago, she knew to seek medical attention rather than return home to rest. “I’m alive because of this tournament,” said Kiefl, a real estate agent with Royal LePage Performance Realty.
And it’s that kind of knowledge about women’s heart health that Loch March owner Mark Fuller was shooting for when he came up with the idea to host an all-female tournament, named after his mother, Jeanne. He was left “thunderstruck” when he learned years ago that cardiovascular disease was the number one killer of women. “I’ve been kicking around for awhile, and if I didn’t know [that fact], not too many other people probably knew,” he told Around Town. “We had to tell people.”

This past spring, the golf club also hosted its 24th annual Fuller Keon charity golf tournament for the Heart Institute. It’s named after: Fuller’s late father, Thomas Fuller, a naval officer in World War Two and one-time head of Thomas Fuller Construction, and the Heart Institute cardiac surgeon who provided his exceptional care, Dr. Wilbert Keon.
The success of the tournaments has caused Fuller, a very warm and friendly man, to pause and reflect on what’s been accomplished. “Every once in a while you take a glance in the rear view mirror,” said Fuller. “It’s good. It’s good. We’ve raised a lot of dough. We’ve brought some tremendous awareness. The Heart Institute has fallen so beautifully in place.”
Attendees included Heart Institute Foundation president and CEO Jim Orban, along with its board chair, Barbara Farber, president of Leikin Group, and such fellow board members as Krista Kealey, V-P of communications and public affairs for the Ottawa International Airport Authority. Lianne Laing from CTV Morning Live was back to emcee the dinner. She was seen chatting with her good friend, Erin Phillips, who was wearing the colour du jour: red. Phillips is known both for her volunteer work in the community and for being the other half of retired Sens player Chris Phillips. She recently joined Royal LePage Team Realty as a sales rep.
