The first-ever Smile Cookie campaign coast to coast was 30 years ago in 1996 raising funds to support Hamilton Children's Hospital.
Today kicks off the Spring edition of Tim Hortons Smile Cookie campaign. The first-ever Smile Cookie campaign in 1996 raised funds to support Hamilton Children's Hospital. Since then, the annual charitable campaign has raised a total of more than $150 million for charities and community groups that are selected every year by Tim Hortons restaurant owners.
Last year, Smile Cookie raised $22.6 million, supporting over 600 charities and community groups across Canada and in the United States. Recipients include local hospitals, community care organizations, food banks and schools.
Locally, the Tillsonburg Kinettes along with some extra helpers, were at Tim Hortons - Oxford Street , Simcoe Street & Town Centre on Sunday to decorate and package approximately 1500 Smile Cookies in support of the Helping Hand Food Bank which is this year's charity of choice.
