Think Talking To Americans... Think The Rick Mercer Report -- and join Oakville Hospital Foundation as it presents the inaugural OTMH Grand Getaway, an escape from the daily grind to Niagara On-the-Lake. On Saturday, May 12, the foundation will host a full-day adventure in Niagaraon-the-Lake. Participants can relax all the way there on an executive coach and upon arrival will be greeted with champagne mimosas and breakfast appetizers. Play 18 holes at the Legends on the Niagara Ussher's Creek Golf Course or enjoy an opening day performance of The Philanderer at the Shaw Festival's renowned Royal George Theatre and lunch at the Pillar & Post, Vintage Inns Hotel. "Integra Capital Financial Corporation is thrilled to be the presenting sponsor of the inaugural OTMH Grand Getaway," said Gary Cook, President of Integra. "As the number of fundraising events in Oakville expands at a rapid pace, it's not very often that you get a chance to help build such an exciting and unique event. And to know that our contribution will have a positive impact on our community hospital makes our involvement even more rewarding. I'm sure this will be the first of many OTMH Grand Getaways, and I hope the residents of Oakville join us," said Cook. The day's events will be followed by an exclusive reception in the Queen's Landing with Halton Healthcare Services in the past, and this was a great opportunity to demonstrate our commitment to Oakville and give back to the community. I just can't wait to enjoy the daytime activities in Niagara and an evening filled with lots of laughs, thanks to Rick Mercer," said Black. "While the OTMH Grand Getaway is an escape from the everyday pressures of society today, let's not forget why we are coming together," said Ed Minich, chair of the OTMH Getaway Committee. "Proceeds will be used to purchase urgently needed equipment for our community hospital's surgical department -- equipment that government money does not pay for," said Minich. High-tech equipment. Surgical scopes. Anesthesia monitors. They aren't the focus as a patient is wheeled into surgery, but they are the things that enable OTMH surgeons to deliver the highest quality care for each of the 12,600 surgical procedures they perform each year. It is the hospital's aim to invest in the innovative equipment that can make operations more accurate, less invasive and less painful than ever before. Event tickets cost $500 per person. Tickets for dinner only are $200 per person. Limited sponsorship opportunities and corporate golf foursomes are available.
