Our Mission
Hayes' Story: A Legacy of Love and Hope
Our Story
The Hayes Joseph Pien Organization was born out of a legacy of immense love and courage. Inspired by our "heavenly son," Hayes Joseph Pien (or "Hazy Boy"), our mission is simple: to ensure that no family walks alone when facing the challenges of congenital heart defects and critical childhood illnesses.
In his five and a half weeks with us, Hayes touched countless lives and sparked a movement of compassion and faith. While he fought heroically through open-heart surgeries, our family experienced firsthand the vital importance of a support system. Today, we honor Hayes by providing that same support to other families and the incredible heroes who care for them every day.
Why We Play
The Hazy Boy Open is more than just a day on the course—it is our flagship event to fuel our mission. From refreshing the Ronald McDonald House at Children’s Minneapolis to providing direct support for families in the trenches of medical crises, every swing and every putt helps us provide comfort and resources to those who need it most.
Our Commitment
We are a 100% volunteer-run 501(c)(3) organization. With no paid staff, every dollar raised goes directly toward our mission. When you join us for a round of golf, you aren't just a participant; you are part of our "Little Heart, Big Community" movement ensuring that every little heart has the opportunity to beat stronger and longer.
Thank you for helping us keep Hayes’ name alive and for being the force behind a loving community.
