The Tim Hortons Smile Cookie Campaign has officially launched, bringing joy and a cause together. The campaign kicked off on Monday, aiming to support local organizations across Canada.
Community Support through Smile Cookies
The Winkler and Morden locations, operated by Jeff and Linda Doerksen, are focusing their efforts on raising funds for the Boundary Trails Health Centre (BTHC) Foundation. Their ambitious goal for this year is set at $60,000.
Importance of the Fundraiser
- Shannon Samatte-Folkett, Executive Director of BTHC Foundation, emphasizes the campaign’s value.
- Funds will contribute to an outdoor wellness space designed for healing.
- The space will include a courtyard, shelter, and outdoor seating for patients, staff, and visitors.
Samatte-Folkett stated, “It is fun to get outside of the awesome space for sure and see everybody in the community.” She highlighted the importance of thanking volunteers and supporters for their contributions.
Why Choose BTHC Foundation?
Jeff Doerksen explained that supporting the BTHC Foundation felt like a natural choice. “Everybody’s going to have to use that place at some point or another with family or friends. It was just an easy decision.”
Upon opening their doors on Monday morning, the Winkler and Morden locations quickly started baking. Jeff reported that within hours, they had delivered 100 dozen cookies across both establishments. He called it “a great start” to the campaign.
Volunteers Behind the Cookies
Inside the Tim Hortons kitchen, volunteers, including retired nurse Deb Weir, dedicated their morning to decorating cookies. Weir has a long history with Boundary Trails and noted the hospital’s significant growth over the years.
Speaking on the impact of the fundraiser, Weir remarked, “A cookie will not hurt you.” Her reassuring words underscored the fun and positivity of participating in the initiative.
