The national Smile Cookie Campaign has set a new record, raising more than $12 million for local charities.
More than $170,000 to be donated between Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre and Hospice Simcoe
The funds raised will be used to support future renovations and expansion of RVH’s Birthing Unit, to increase its capacity and upgrade the current space.
Hospice Simcoe will use funds raised to renovate the family kitchen in its 10-bed end-of-life care home.
“We are so grateful to our local Tim Hortons restaurant owners as well as our community, for supporting patient care at RVH through the Tim Hortons Smile Cookie Campaign. These funds will play a vital role in RVH’s ability to continue giving its tiniest patients the best possible start, and to continue meeting the growing healthcare needs of our region.”-Janice Skot, RVH President & CEO
“We are very grateful to be part of such an incredible Tim Hortons community and the Tim Hortons Smile Cookie Campaign. These funds will play an important role in allowing us to continue to provide 24/7 care for the dying at Hospice, and bereavement support through our community programs.”-Kelly Hubbard, Executive Director, Hospice Simcoe
“Each and every year, Tim Hortons restaurant owners continue to go above and beyond to help raise funds for our annual Smile Cookie campaign and it’s truly inspiring to be a part of something so great and impactful,” says Hope Bagozzi, Chief Marketing Officer for Tim Hortons.
Tim Hortons restaurant owners across Canada will be presenting their local charity partners with Smile Cookie cheques throughout the next month.
