Cobourg and Colborne Tim Hortons Smile Cookie Sales to Benefit Cornerstone

Starting September 19, the Tim Horton Smile Cookie week returns. This year 100% of proceeds from these special cookies sold in Cobourg and Colborne will be donated to Cornerstone Family Violence Prevention Centre (Cornerstone).

“We are honored to, once again, be the recipients of a major campaign like Smile Cookie,” says Nancy Johnston, Executive Director for Cornerstone. “Funds generated from the campaign will
directly benefit the many women and children in our community impacted by family violence, and help us create a place where hope grows,” Johnston adds.

“We are so grateful to be take part in for a second year in the Tim Horton’s Smile Cookie Campaign,” says Janelle Eisler, Manager of Community Engagement of Cornerstone. “Having seen the incredible support our community provided with this campaign last year, whether it was the staff at each store, the volunteers decorating the cookies or the community enjoying
this sweet treat it was truly inspiring to be a part of.”

The iconic chocolate chunk cookies topped with pink and blue icing drawing out a smile will be available at every Tim Hortons restaurant across the county, with the 5 Cobourg and 1 Colborne
location specifically benefiting Cornerstone.

The Smile Cookie program started 1996, raising funds for Hamilton Children’s Hospital in Ontario. Twenty-five years later: 100% of proceeds from each Smile Cookie is still donated to charities from coast-to-coast-to-coast supporting the communities in which the restaurants operate. In 2022, more than 600 different charities will benefit from the weeklong campaign.

During the campaign, guests can enjoy a Smile Cookie for $1, plus applicable taxes. 100% of the proceeds go towards local charitable organizations.

100% of proceeds from each cookie is donated to a local charity or community group in which Tim Hortons restaurants operate. In 2021, more than 600 charitable organizations in communities across Canada will directly benefit from Smile Cookie sales.
