OAKVILLE, ON – With coffee cups in hand, Tim Hortons guests and restaurant owners from across North America came together to raise $11.8 million during this year’s Camp Day on Wednesday, June 4.
All funds raised will make the opportunity to attend camp a reality for more than 17,000 kids from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
On Camp Day, 100 per cent of proceeds from coffee sales at the more than 4,500 Tim Hortons restaurants across Canada and the United States are donated to the Tim Horton Children’s Foundation (THCF) to send kids from low-income homes on an unforgettable camp experience.
“From our loyal guests and generous restaurant owners to our dedicated team members, local celebrities and volunteers, we want to thank you for making this year’s Camp Day a great success,” said Dave Newnham, Vice President and Executive Director, Tim Horton Children’s Foundation.
“Your support not only sends kids on an amazing camp adventure, but also helps them gain the skills, experience and confidence to build a brighter future.”
In addition to purchasing a Tim Hortons coffee on June 4, guests supported Camp Day by making a donation in restaurant, rounding up their order to the nearest dollar amount, texting CAMP to 45678 (Canada) or 41518 (U.S.) to make a $5 donation, and donating online at sendakidtocamp.com.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better way to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Foundation than by raising $11.8 million on Camp Day,” said Newnham. “As our largest fundraiser of the year, Camp Day has been essential to helping us make a true difference by sending more than 200,000 kids to camp by the end of 2014.”
