17 · Friday, July 23, 2010 OAKVILLE BEAVER · www.oakvillebeaver.com Blazing Design and Baicorp Financial Play it ForeWard for OTMH This year's 4th Annual Blazing Baicorp Play it ForeWard Charity Golf & Spa event took place on May 27, 2010 at the Hockley Valley Resort. More than 100 golfers and a dozen spa goers came out to support this event and helped to raise $25,000 for Oakville-Trafalgar Memorial Hospital (OTMH). The proceeds raised from this year's tournament will go towards the purchase of a new birthing bed for the OTMH Maternal Child Unit. On behalf of the staff and patients at OTMH, the Oakville Hospital Foundation would like to thank the tournament sponsors, participants and staff at Blazing Design and Baicorp Financial for their tireless efforts in executing a wonderful event.

Saying Goodbye to a Friend On July 2, 2010, our dear friend Bruce Birmingham passed away. Bruce was an Oakville Hospital Foundation Board member, and together with his wife Betty, they have supported OTMH for more than 20 years. Bruce and Betty have provided more than $4.5 million to various projects within the Oakville Hospital. Most recently they provided funds to purchase both of the new digital mammography machines. Bruce & Betty's generosity has contributed to the fundraising success of numerous charities locally, regionally and nationally with support directed to healthcare, education, sports, arts and social services. Bruce's wisdom will be instrumental for the legacy of Oakville Hospital Foundation's campaign and the hospital.
