TORONTO — Tim Hortons and its restaurant owners across Canada have raised $9.8 million during the first-ever national Holiday Smile Cookie campaign. The funds raised are being donated to more than 600 local charities and community groups that are being supported by Smile Cookies for the first time, including Tim Hortons Foundation Camps.
In Alma, Que., owners Nicolas Fortin and Émilie Truchon, along with dedicated team members and volunteers, helped to bake, decorate and sell more than 19,850 Holiday Smile Cookies — the most of any restaurant in the country.
“We want to extend a huge thank you to everyone who participated in our Holiday Smile Cookie campaign during this season of kindness,” says Axel Schwan, president of Tim Hortons. “From our guests who bought millions of Holiday Smile Cookies to show their support for amazing organizations in their communities, to our restaurant owners, team members and volunteers who baked and hand decorated all those cookies, this was an amazing team effort that will have a big impact right across Canada.”
