Big Smiles All Around Thanks to Tim Hortons

It’s Our Time Campaign representatives joined participating Niagara Tim Hortons restaurant owners at the construction site of the new healthcare complex and Walker Family Cancer Centre in St. Catharines to thank them for their generous donation.

Niagara, ON (November 12, 2010) – Through the Smile Cookie Program, participating Niagara Region Tim Hortons restaurant owners, team members and their guests raised an amazing $100,000 - one smile at a time - for the It’s Our Time Campaign in support of health-care services at their local community hospitals.

“Tim Hortons have been generous supporters of our local hospital foundations over the years,” states Port Colborne Hospital Foundation Chair Carmela Rulli. "We are very grateful that Niagara Tim Hortons owners continue their support by donating to the It's Our Time Campaign through the Smile Cookie fundraiser. Everyone who enjoyed a cookie and ‘shared a smile’ helped make a difference by supporting healthcare in their community.”

In recognition of this gift, the Patient Waiting Area and Gowning Space in the future Walker Family Cancer Centre will be named in honour of the Tim Hortons franchisees.

“The success of the program would not be possible without the support and generosity of our customers, states Christine Darbyson, local Tim Hortons franchisee. “On behalf of all Niagara Region Tim Hortons Owners and Staff, I would like to thank all our customers for their continued support of this meaningful cause.”
