STEVENSON MEMORIAL HOSPITAL FOUNDATION
*************************
Tim Hortons restaurant owners and millions of generous Canadians across the country combined broke a new Smile Cookie record by raising more than $12 million for local charities across the country.
This year in Alliston local Tim Hortons restaurant owners and guests helped raise more than $15,000 to support Stevenson Memorial Hospital Foundation (SMHF).
The funds raised will be used toward the redevelopment of Stevenson Memorial Hospital.
“We are thrilled that Tim Hortons Alliston chose Stevenson Memorial Hospital Foundation as their charity for 2021,” says Mary Thomas, CEO, SMHF. “It is with the generous support from local businesses and community members that we will achieve our $43 million goal that will transform Stevenson and health care in our community.”
“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.
In 2020, the Smile Cookie campaign raised $10.56 million across Canada.
The Tim Hortons Smile Cookie program started in 1996, originally raising funds for Hamilton Children’s Hospital. Twentyfive years later, the annual charitable campaign has now raised a total of more than $77 million for charities selected every year by restaurant owners.
Nationally, Tim Hortons restaurant owners support over 600 local charities, hospitals and community programs through the Smile Cookie campaign.
