Register and set up your page, www.runforwomen.ca DOOR TO DOOR CAMPAIGN APRIL ­ JULY Monthly gifts to the Oakville Hospital Foundation ensure our caregivers have the medical equipment they require to care for our patients. Since the Government funds virtually no clinical equipment, the Hospital relies on the support of our entire community to help us acquire these vital items. This spring, we will be canvassing in your neighbourhood talking about your new Hospital and the benefits of monthly giving. As a monthly donor, you choose the amount you want to give and you can change or cancel your gift at any time. Contributions will be deducted from your chequing account or charged to your credit card each month. Your pre-authorized payments will ensure reliable funding throughout the year for our Hospital while helping us reduce costs for postage and printing. Please consider joining our family of monthly donors ­ the Oak Leaf Society ­ and help put essential equipment in the hands of our caregivers.
