In October 2022, Canadian Tire Alliston put out a challenge to the community to “Topple the Toffifee Tower” at its Alliston location, encouraging the sale of 3,000 boxes of Toffifee.
The store not only committed to donating the proceeds of the event to the Stevenson Memorial Hospital Foundation, but it also promised to match those funds.
The event raised $6,000 that was donated to the Stevenson Memorial Hospital Foundation (SMHF) for the “Because of you, we can.” campaign in support of hospital redevelopment.
“We are so pleased to receive proceeds from a sweet event like this,” said Mary Thomas, CEO of SMHF. “It really shows us how committed our community is when we receive support from customers of our local Canadian Tire with initiatives like this. Canadian Tire in Alliston is such a great support to the Stevenson Memorial Hospital Foundation and we are grateful for all that they do to support our community hospital.”
The “Because of you, we can” campaign, is the largest campaign in the Foundation’s history and will provide a revitalized Emergency Department, double the square footage of the hospital and revitalize the parking are for visitors.
