CELEBRATE A LIFE. HONOUR A LEGACY.
Making a gift in memory or in honour of someone special is a meaningful way to celebrate their life, values, and the impact they’ve had on others. Whether it’s to mark a milestone, show gratitude, or remember a loved one, your tribute gift helps bring comfort, healing, and hope to patients and families in our community.
When you invite others to give in honour or memory of someone close to your heart, we’ll ensure you’re kept informed. You’ll receive a summary of who contributed, so you can see the full impact of the love and generosity inspired by their name.
Give a gift that leaves a legacy of care—right here at SMGH.
LEAVE A LEGACY OF HOPE
A legacy gift is a powerful way to ensure future generations have access to exceptional health care, close to home. By including the SMGH Foundation in your will or estate plans, you create a lasting impact that lives on—supporting life-saving equipment, compassionate care, and innovation for years to come. It’s a meaningful way to reflect your values, honour your life story, and help shape a healthier tomorrow.
Leave your mark. Create a legacy of healing and hope.
SHARES & GIFTS IN KIND
By donating publicly traded securities in-kind (without selling them first), either during your lifetime or through your estate, you eliminate the capital gains tax that would otherwise apply and receive a charitable tax receipt for the full fair market value.
This is a highly tax-effective way to support SMGH while maximizing the impact of your gift.
COMMUNITY EVENTS
Hosting a fundraising event is a powerful and rewarding way to support local health care at Strathroy Middlesex General Hospital. Whether it’s a birthday fundraiser, golf tournament, bake sale, or memorial walk, your event can make a real difference in the lives of patients and families right here at home.
And you won’t be doing it alone. The SMGH Foundation team is here to support you with helpful resources, easy-to-use fundraising tools, and personalized guidance every step of the way.
