Realizing that the space was too small to accommodate demand, Betty and her late husband Bruce proposed an expansion campaign for the centre and pledged a $1 million donation. As a result, the new Birmingham Gilgan House, completed in 2010, was named in their honour. Today the facility remains central to the heart of the Oakville community, profoundly impacting the lives of thousands of residents through supportive cancer care.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBetty possessed a true philanthropic spirit,\u201d said Christina Smith, Wellspring CEO. \u201cHer charitable giving crossed local and national boundaries, encompassing healthcare, education, sport, arts and social services, and her incredibly generous spirit improved the lives of countless individuals. Although our hearts are heavy, we pay tribute to Betty with the deepest gratitude. Our heartfelt condolences to her children and grandchildren.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7928\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7928\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7928 size-medium\" title=\"Betty construction\" src=\"https:\/\/wellspring.ca\/gta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2023\/08\/Betty-construction-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Betty during the expansion ceremony for Birmingham Gilgan House\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wellspring.ca\/gta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2023\/08\/Betty-construction-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wellspring.ca\/gta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2023\/08\/Betty-construction-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wellspring.ca\/gta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2023\/08\/Betty-construction-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/wellspring.ca\/gta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2023\/08\/Betty-construction-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wellspring.ca\/gta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2023\/08\/Betty-construction.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7928\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Betty construction<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7926\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7926\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7926 size-medium\" title=\"Betty and Christina\" src=\"https:\/\/wellspring.ca\/gta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2023\/08\/Betty-and-Christina-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Betty and Christina\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wellspring.ca\/gta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2023\/08\/Betty-and-Christina-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wellspring.ca\/gta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2023\/08\/Betty-and-Christina-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wellspring.ca\/gta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2023\/08\/Betty-and-Christina-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/wellspring.ca\/gta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2023\/08\/Betty-and-Christina-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wellspring.ca\/gta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2023\/08\/Betty-and-Christina.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7926\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Betty Birmingham with Christina Smith, Wellspring CEO<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7927\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7927\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-7927\" title=\"Betty Presenting Partner\" src=\"https:\/\/wellspring.ca\/gta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2023\/08\/Betty-Presenting-Partner-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Betty Presenting Partner\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wellspring.ca\/gta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2023\/08\/Betty-Presenting-Partner-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wellspring.ca\/gta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2023\/08\/Betty-Presenting-Partner-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wellspring.ca\/gta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2023\/08\/Betty-Presenting-Partner-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/wellspring.ca\/gta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2023\/08\/Betty-Presenting-Partner-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wellspring.ca\/gta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2023\/08\/Betty-Presenting-Partner.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7927\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Betty Presenting Partner<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7929\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7929\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-7929\" title=\"Betty and Bruce Birmingham\" src=\"https:\/\/wellspring.ca\/gta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2023\/08\/Betty-and-Bruce-Birmingham-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Betty and Bruce Birmingham\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wellspring.ca\/gta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2023\/08\/Betty-and-Bruce-Birmingham-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wellspring.ca\/gta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2023\/08\/Betty-and-Bruce-Birmingham-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wellspring.ca\/gta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2023\/08\/Betty-and-Bruce-Birmingham-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/wellspring.ca\/gta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2023\/08\/Betty-and-Bruce-Birmingham-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wellspring.ca\/gta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2023\/08\/Betty-and-Bruce-Birmingham.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7929\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Betty and Bruce Birmingham<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wellspring Cancer Support Foundation is mourning the recent passing of Elizabeth Ann (Betty) Birmingham, a devoted philanthropist, a loyal supporter and a cherished friend and member of the Wellspring community.
