TORONTO, October 6, 2020 – Tim Hortons restaurant owners and millions of generous Canadians across the country combined broke a new Smile Cookie record by raising $10.56 million for local charities across the country.
This year in Estevan, local Tim Hortons restaurant owners Mandy and Ryan Irwin (at the King Street location) and Joanne Willows (at the 4th Street location) and guests helped raise $8365 to support the Dennis Moore Centennial Park. This completes year two of a five year commitment to the park. “In the past we have supported different local charities such as breakfast programs, St Joseph’s Hospital Foundation and Estevan Family Center. Last year we decided to switch it up a bit and do something that would really leave a legacy in the city. The park is coming along nicely and we are excited to see it come along over the next few months.” said Mandy Irwin.
“We are so grateful to Tim Hortons for supporting our community. The money raised by Smile Cookies helps us invest in infrastructure programs that help children and families in our community,” shared Mayor Roy Ludwig.
“We were absolutely blown away by the generosity of Canadians for our annual Smile Cookie campaign,” says Tim Hortons Chief Marketing Officer Hope Bagozzi.
Tim Hortons restaurant owners across Canada will be presenting their local charity partners with Smile Cookie cheques throughout the next month.
