TORONTO, SEPTEMBER 28, 2020 \u2013<\/strong> Tim Hortons restaurant owners and millions of generous Canadians across the country combined broke a new Smile Cookie record by raising $10.56 million for local charities across the country.<\/p>\n

This year in PEI, local Tim Hortons restaurant owners and guests helped raise $47,172.83 to support KidSport PEI. This was the third year that Smile Cookies have supported KidSport PEI and this was our biggest year yet. Over 35,000 Smile Cookies were sold on PEI from September 14-20. Thanks to the generosity of Islanders were able to increase Smile Cookie sales by $4,000 in 2020 compared to 2019. These funds will help us get over 100 PEI children into a season of sport! The funds will be used to reduce the financial barriers of sport, and help us get more kids off the sidelines and into the game.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were absolutely blown away by the generosity of Canadians for our annual Smile Cookie campaign,\u201d says Tim Hortons Chief Marketing Officer Hope Bagozzi.<\/p>\n

Tim Hortons restaurant owners across Canada will be presenting their local charity partners with Smile Cookie cheques throughout the next month.<\/p>\n
