Race day is Sunday, May 4. The race is at 9 a.m. Many banks are hoping as many customers as employees and their families will be out to take in the fun that includes entertainment, activities and refreshments. The race starts at the intersection of Lakeshore Road and Navy Street, and winds up at George Street. Following the race, an awards ceremony will be held in Town Square. "Our goal is to state that Scotiabank will take the title. Goal No. 2 is that Scotiabank will win the fundraising campaign," said Kerith McLeod. Mind you, all of the other bank representatives in attendance were equally confident. Some wore their bank's t-shirts; some, like those from TD Canada Trust came armed with clappers -- to add to their own cheering section. With limited provincial government funding for equipment, community support is essential to OTMH to maintain and improve the level of quality healthcare services that Oakville residents expect and deserve. The foundation raises more than $8 million annually to support the essential medical equipment needs at OTMH. For more information on fundraising programs visit www.oakvillehospitalfoundation.com. "The Oakville-Trafalgar Memorial Hospital depends on the generous support of our community members to bring Oakville residents the quality healthcare they expect and deserve," said Shorey. "We commend Oakville's banks for setting an example that other Oakville businesses can aspire to in making a positive difference to the health of our community," Shorey said. To help with the kickoff, Sheridan's Student Business Council hosted an Operating Room carnival day Wednesday complete with crutch races, a 50/50 draw, jelly bean count and a dress the dummy competition. All proceeds, along with some of those from a pub night and a pie toss at staff near exam week will go to the Bank Bed challenge. "This is a great opportunity for Sheridan to showcase its talent and generosity while supporting the local community through the Oakville-Trafalgar Memorial Hospital," said Erika Janovich, president of Sheridan's Student Business Council.
