Local Tim Hortons locations are bringing back their tastiest fundraiser yet in support of the Children’s Treatment Centre Foundation.
Beginning September 12th through September 18th, all Chatham, Dresden and Wallaceburg Tim Hortons locations will be participating in this year’s Tim Hortons Smile Cookie Campaign.
For every $1 Smile Cookie sold, Tim Hortons will be donating $1 back to the Children’s Treatment Centre Foundation.
Tim Hortons’ Smile Cookie campaign began in 1996 as a way to help raise funds for the Hamilton Children’s Hospital, and has grown to become a major fundraising event at Tim Hortons restaurants. Nationally, Tim Hortons restaurant owners support 460 Canadian charities, hospitals and community programs through the campaign. Last year’s campaign raised over $6.3 million across Canada – and Chatham-Kent raised $11,060 of this total for the Children’s Treatment Centre Foundation.
“We’re thrilled that our local Tim Hortons restaurant owners decided to support the Children’s Treatment Centre Foundation again with this year’s Smile Cookie Campaign”, stated Mike Genge, Executive Director of the Children’s Treatment Centre Foundation. “Last year’s campaign helped fund the Centre’s Social Work program, and replace a 20 year old piano for Music Therapy- both are enhanced programs not funded by the government.”
The Foundation encourages the Chatham-Kent community, businesses, families and organizations to enjoy some Tim Hortons Smile Cookies in support of the Children’s Treatment Centre Foundation of Chatham-Kent.
Every cookie purchased will help ensure that the Centre and Foundation can continue providing quality therapy and services to the children and families throughout our community.
