Tim Hortons is ready to elevate spirits and raise funds for a good cause - with cookies!
The iconic coffee shop's Smile Cookie program is back once again, for the first time in the spring, helping support multiple non-profits in the same local markets where Tims serves its guests. The program started in 1996 as a fundraiser to benefit a local children's hospital, and the Smile Cookie program has now become synonymous with Tim Hortons philanthropic efforts across the U.S. To see the organizations near you who benefit from the week-long event, visit timhortons.com/smilecookie.
From Monday through May 7, at participating restaurants, guests can purchase a Smile Cookie for $1.50, with 100% of that purchase (excluding taxes) going to a designated non-profit in that local market. Tim Hortons donated more than $290,000 to local organizations last year in the U.S. alone.
This year the local Tim Hortons, owned and operated by Gina and Dave Kron, has designated the Boys & Girls Club of Northern Chautauqua County.
Each smile cookie is known for its unique design. Each chocolate chip cookie is individually decorated by a team member, so no two are exactly alike. This year, on May 6 select locations will host a cookie-decorating event where guests will have the opportunity to buy cookie-decorating kits complete with cookies, along with all the necessary toppings and tools needed to decorate them.
Guests can choose to take them home, or enjoy them during the in-restaurant event, along with other family-friendly activities.
