Record-breaking campaign demonstrates the power of community giving
The Campbellford Memorial Hospital (CMH) Foundation is proud to celebrate a tremendous success following this year’s Smile Cookie Week at Campbellford Tim Hortons. Thanks to extraordinary community support, nearly 10,000 Smile Cookies were sold, raising an incredible $20,167.64 in support of the New Campbellford Hospital.
This milestone represents a record-breaking campaign for the Campbellford location, which also earned the distinction of #1 Smile Cookie seller across West Hastings and Northumberland.
“What we saw during Smile Cookie Week was the true spirit of the Greater Campbellford community,” said Tim Hortons Restaurant Owner Jimmy Robertson.
“People showed up in a big way—individuals, families, businesses—everyone wanted to be part of the New Campbellford Hospital Smile Cookie campaign. That kind of support speaks volumes about how much this hospital means to our community. We’re incredibly proud of what we accomplished together, and we’re excited to announce that we will be directing Smile Cookie Week proceeds to the New Campbellford Hospital for the next four years.”
The CMH Foundation extends heartfelt thanks to the entire Tim Hortons team, including Store Manager Brenda Ruelland and their exceptional sta… Smile Cookie Week is an intense and high-energy campaign, and their willingness to go above and beyond—with extra hours, outstanding teamwork, and enthusiastic customer engagement—played a critical role in this campaign’s success.
“This incredible result is a testament to both Jimmy’s leadership and the generosity of our community,” said Martha Hunt, Chair of the CMH Foundation. “We are deeply grateful for this record-breaking achievement and especially for Jimmy’s commitment to support the New Campbellford Hospital through the Smile Cookie campaign for the next four years. That level of dedication will have a meaningful and lasting impact on healthcare in our community.”
Proceeds from Smile Cookie Week will help advance the development of a modern, state-of-the-art hospital ensuring access to high-quality care close to home for generations to come.
A community cheque presentation will take place on Wednesday, May 13 at 1:00 PM at the Campbellford Tim Hortons, with Jimmy Robertson, Brenda Ruelland, Tim Hortons sta.., and members of the CMH Foundation Board on hand to celebrate this remarkable achievement.
