The annual Tim Hortons Smile Cookie campaign is back to bring even more smiles to communities across Canada. For one week starting Monday Sept. 23rd, Tim Hortons guests can purchase a freshly baked chocolate chunk Smile Cookie for $1 at participating restaurants, with 100% of the proceeds being generously donated by Tim Hortons restaurant owners to support local charities, hospitals and community programs.
“It’s amazing to see the difference $1 can make,” said Isabel MacRae, Tim Hortons restaurant owner in Alliston. “We are proud of our ongoing commitment to Matthews House Hospice and want to thank our loyal guests for their generous support of the Smile Cookie campaign year after year. We encourage everyone to visit us this week to get their own delicious Smile Cookie in support of a great cause.”
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 fundraiser at Tim Hortons restaurants across North America. Last year, the campaign raised more than $4 million across Canada and the United States. Nationally, more than 350 local charities are supported each year through the campaign.
New this year, Canadians can send their friends and family a virtual Smile-o-Gram by visiting www.timhortons.com/smilecookie. Simply choose from a list of messages or create a custom message for your Smile-o-Gram then share via Facebook, Twitter or email.
