Tim Hortons annual Smile Cookie campaign is back to bring even more smiles to communities across Canada.
The Dresden, Wallaceburg and Chatham St. Clair St. Tim Hortons locations will raise funds for the Children’s Treatment Centre Foundation.
Starting yesterday for one week, Tim Hortons guests can purchase a freshly baked chocolate chunk Smile Cookie for $1 plus tax at participating restaurants, with 100 per cent of the proceeds being donated by Tim Hortons restaurant owners to support local charities, hospitals and community programs.
“The simple act of buying a Smile Cookie for one dollar will have a direct impact on charities in your own community,” says David Clanachan, President and Chief Operating Officer, Tim Hortons Canada. “Through the generosity of our guests and restaurant owners year after year, we continue to raise millions of dollars to help hundreds of deserving local charities.”
The Smile Cookie campaign started in 1996 to help raise funds for the Hamilton Children’s Hospital in Ontario and has grown to become a major fundraising event at Tim Hortons restaurants. With blue eyes and a pink smile, the Smile Cookie has become an iconic symbol of the commitment of Tim Hortons guests and restaurant owners to strengthen their communities.
Last year, the campaign raised $5.3 million across Canada and supported more than 350 local charities.
For over 65 years, the Children’s Treatment Centre of Chatham-Kent has provided quality care and therapy to children from birth through age 18, who have physical, developmental, or communication challenges.
These services include physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, audiology, social work, respite, music therapy, and a variety of adapted recreational programs.
They deliver services from our Chatham campus and Best Start hubs as well as through Full Day Learning sites situated around the sprawling Municipality of Chatham-Kent.
