Record-breaking smile cookie campaign across the country

The Smile Cookie campaign may be over, but the smiles continue for over 600 charities and community groups across Canada and the United States.  

Tim Hortons says a record-breaking $22.6 million was raised with the sale of the tasty treats this year.  

Restaurant owners will be presenting their charity partners with Smile Cookie cheques in the coming weeks. 

Recipients in the Kootenays include Cedar Grove Elementary in Castlegar, Kootenay Boundary Hospital Foundation in Grand Forks, Tour de Rock in Trail, Creston Valley Hospital Auxiliary in Creston and Cranbrook Health Care Auxiliary in Cranbrook.

“We’re so grateful for the outpouring of support for this year’s Smile Cookie campaign from Tims guests across Canada. Thanks to your incredible generosity we topped our previous Smile Cookie record,” says Axel Schwan, President of Tim Hortons.

More than $151 million has been raised since the first-ever campaign in 1996.
