Bluewater Health is committed to remaining at the forefront of medical technology. This commitment is there for one reason only - our priority to focus on patient care. At one point or another in our lives, every one of us will require the services of our community hospitals. That's why we are dedicated to providing the best possible care for the residents of Sarnia-Lambton. To make this possible, Bluewater Health Foundation needs your help.
Since the creation of the Foundation in 1998, thousands of individuals and organizations have generously contributed to our community hospitals by supporting Foundation events and activities.
All gifts, whether large or small, make a difference and are appreciated and acknowledged. Every dollar earned goes towards improving health care for all of us. Your donation can go directly to any area or program you prefer to support, or you can let the Foundation decide "where the need is greatest".
In addition to contributing to the capital campaign that will raise the community's share of our new hospital, many of our donors direct their gifts to areas that are of special interest to them.
All donors will be issued an official tax receipt. For information on charitable giving laws in Canada, please visit the Canada Revenue Agency's Charities Directorate page at http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/charities/.
Bluewater Health Foundation's Charitable Business Number is 86939 4163 RR0001.

You may honour the memory of a loved one or special person by making a memorial contribution to Bluewater Health Foundation. You will receive a tax receipt for your gift, and we will send a letter acknowledging your gift to the family of the person remembered. The amount of your gift will not be disclosed.
Regardless of the size of your contribution, the remembered person's name will be placed on our annual Memorial Wall, located on the first floor of the Norman Site, in the corridor linking the Norman and Russell buildings. A dedication service is held once a year for the family and friends of the people whose names were added to the wall that year. The next Memorial Wall service will be held on Wednesday, May 7, 2008, for memorial donations received in 2007.
Memorial gifts can be directed towards a specific area or program, if desired. Families will often specify where they would like donations to go in the obituary announcement. Most local funeral homes will accept donations on our behalf, and forward them for us to process in our usual way.

A tribute gift is an excellent way to mark birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, graduations, the birth of a child, retirements, or any special occasion. You may also choose to recognize a physician, staff member or specific program at Bluewater Health for the care given to yourself or someone close to you.

Gifts-in-Kind
A gift-in-kind involves the donation of property, goods or services instead of cash. Bluewater Health Foundation issues tax receipts for the fair market value of most gifts of goods, but cannot, however, issue tax receipts for services (CRA rules).
Gifts-in-kind include securities (stocks, bonds, mutual funds), real estate, art, or equipment. They may also include items donated for special events, such as door prizes or auction items.
