Since June, golfers from around the Finger Lakes region have taken to the links competing in what has become an annual tradition, the 108 Holes for Hearts virtual golf tournament. Their efforts along with the generous support of tournament sponsors including Vizient and the Kinney Drugs Foundation raised more than $17,000 for UR Medicine Finger Lakes Health cardiology services, equipment and patient financial aid.
