Five Counties Children’s Centre (FCCC) has been selected as the local charity that benefits from the annual Tim Hortons Smile Cookie Campaign, announced on Monday.
The campaign runs from April 29 until May 5 at locations in Cobourg and Colborne.
“We are very grateful to Tim Hortons locations in Cobourg and Colborne for selecting Five Counties to be the beneficiary of the annual Smile Cookie Campaign,” says Scott Pepin, FCCC CEO. “Fundraising efforts like this help reduce wait times and ensure more children and families get the access to care they need when they need it.”
Residents are encouraged to visit a Cobourg or Colborne Tim Hortons to support Five Counties to purchase a Smile Cookie. Bulk orders are also available and can be ordered by completing this form. During the campaign, Five Counties staff, volunteers, families, and supporters will be at Tim Hortons locations to collect donations and thank visitors for dropping by.
All money raised from Smile Cookie for Five Counties will go towards its Building Abilities for Life Campaign. This campaign funds priority, high-demand services like speech therapy and occupational therapy to reduce long waiting times for these critical services.
Tim Hortons has been raising funds for local charities for over 25 years. Last year, Tim Hortons restaurants across Canada raised a record-breaking $19.7 million for over 600 local charities and community groups. The Smile Cookie Campaign has raised over $90 million since the program’s inception.
