This April more than 40 bank branches across Oakville will work together to raise funds to purchase new patient care beds for the Oakville-Trafalgar Memorial Hospital and the new Oakville Hospital.

Each year the fundraising campaign concludes with a hospital bed race which takes place on Lakeshore Road East in downtown Oakville.

What’s New: This year the Birmingham family has issued a match challenge to the participating banks. Every dollar the banks raise will be matched dollar for dollar by the Birmingham family.

Although the race day is May 1st for the public, a launch event is taking place on March 30th to kick off a one-month fundraising campaign.
