Marilu is featured guest at Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation gala
Last Saturday, Marilu was the keynote speaker at the Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation (MHIF) Gala, a major fundraiser for the Institute. The energy in the room was high, and Marilu – always a great speaker – held the audience captive with her story about her father’s death and how it led her to a healthy life.
Marilu Henner lost her father to heart disease. And his death transformed her life. Known for her roles on Broadway, in film, and on television, Henner is now a health and wellness advocate with a major following.
Her Total Health Makeover program is changing lives and Henner is the recipient of the 2010 Voice of Compassion Award from the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM). With PCRM, she is working to persuade Congress to reform the Child Nutrition Act.
Please join us to hear Marilu speak with wit, passion and expertise as MHIF celebrates 28 years of historic success. Your support has made all the difference!
We promise a dinner of great food—selected by Marilu—and inspired music from Kicked in the Jimmy, a band of five young MHIF cardiologists.
Come to be entertained and enlightened, but most all, come to support life-saving research aimed at stopping cardiovascular disease—the number one killer in America.
