She was among the nearly 4,000 Americans who died that year because lifesaving organs were simply not available. Now, a host of family and friends are carrying out one of Terri s final wishes - to raise awareness of the worsening organ shortage. They have organized the 5th Annual Terri Opp Golf Memorial which will be held Thursday, Sept. 14 at Tartan Park Golf Course located at CR 17 and 20th Street North in Lake Elmo.
Golfing begins at noon with a shotgun start.
A dinner will be served following course play. The featured speaker will be kidney recipient Carter Freeman of Edina. He will share his compelling story of life and hope with the gathering. Proceeds from the even will go to LifeSource, a nonprofit, federally-designated organ donation organization for Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and portions of western Wisconsin. LifeSource will use the funds for public awareness initiatives.
