TORONTO — This year, Tim Hortons has raised a record-breaking $19.7 million through the sales of Smile Cookies, supporting more than 600 charities and community groups across Canada and in the U.S.
Ryan DiTommaso and Ashleigh MacLeod’s Tim Hortons restaurant in Dunnville, Ont. sold the most Smile Cookies this year – an amazing feat considering the city has population of roughly 6,000 people. Their team sold nearly 52,000 Smile Cookies, which is nearly nine cookies for every resident. The proceeds are being donated to the Dunnville Hospital and Healthcare Foundation.
“We’re so proud and humbled that Tims guests have once again shown incredible support for our Smile Cookie campaign, and important charities and community groups where they live, by helping us raise a record-breaking $19.7 million,” says Axel Schwan, president of Tim Hortons for Canada and the U.S. “To achieve such an amazing result means baking and hand-decorating millions upon millions of Smile Cookies over the course of just a week. My heartfelt thanks goes out to everyone in the Tim Hortons family who made this happen, all our passionate restaurant owners and team members, and the volunteers helped us dot eyes and create smiles. And again, we couldn’t do it without the support of our guests across Canada and in the U.S. On behalf of the 600 charities and community groups you are supporting, thank you so much.”
