Tim Hortons’ annual Smile Cookie week will take place from Sept. 19-25.
The iconic chocolate chunk cookies topped with pink and blue icing drawing out a smile will be available at every participating Tim Hortons restaurant across the country. The best part is 100 per cent of proceeds from these special cookies will be donated to local charities in which the restaurants operate.
In Napanee, the Lennox & Addington County General Hospital Foundation has been selected as a recipient of this fundraiser.
“Since 2007, the Tim Hortons locations in Greater Napanee have donated over $130,000 from the Smile Cookie campaign,” said Amanda Chalk, program coordinator with the LACGH Foundation. “These funds have been distributed throughout the L&A County General Hospital to support the purchase of medical equipment, staff education and capital improvements.”
There are two ways people can participate in Smile Cookie week:
Visit a local participating Tim Hortons between Sept. 19 – 25 and buy a Smile Cookie for $1 (plus tax).
Or, they can pre-order a box of Smile Cookies by downloading and filling out an order form in advance from the website www.lacghfoundation.com, and dropping it off at a local Tims. Pre-orders must be made 48 hours in advance.
“Every Smile Cookie is as unique as the people, charities and communities they help,” added Chalk.
