TORONTO — This year’s Tim Hortons Camp Day campaign raised nearly $12.8 million that will be donated to Tim Hortons Foundation Camps.
Tim Hortons Camp Day has now raised more than $262 million in its history, which has supported sending more than 320,000 underserved youth between the ages of 12 to 16 to a multi-year camp-based program at Tims Camps.
Every year, restaurant owners donate 100 per cent of the proceeds from hot and iced-coffee sales to Tim Hortons Foundation Camps and raise additional funds through Camp Day bracelets, donation badges and other fundraising initiatives.
“Thank you to Tims guests across Canada and the U.S. who purchased coffee, bracelets, badges, or even went above and beyond and donated extra at their local Tims this Camp Day,” says Axel Schwan, president of Tim Hortons. “Through your support, we’re helping to change lives for the better by giving youth the opportunity to learn, grow and succeed with opportunities at Tims Camps.”
“We’re overwhelmed with the results,” says Caroline Barham, president of Tim Hortons Foundation Camps. “A simple thank you doesn’t even begin to express our gratitude here at Tims Camps. We couldn’t be more grateful for the support of Tim Hortons, restaurant owners, and guests, and their dedication to our mission of empowering youth to achieve their full potential.”
