Tim Hortons announced Tuesday that over $13 million was raised for Tim Hortons Foundation Camps during this year’s Camp Day campaign.
It has raised over $275 million in its history, which has supported sending more than 325,000 underserved youth to Tims Camps’ multi-year development program to build confidence, resiliency, and other critical skills to reach their full potential, said the company.
“We’re so grateful to the many generous Tims guests who supported Camp Day again this year – and to our incredible Tim Hortons restaurant owners across the country for donating 100 per cent of proceeds from every hot coffee and iced coffee sold to our foundation,” said Axel Schwan, President of the company. “Thanks to your support we’re making a big impact in the lives of young people who deserve every opportunity to succeed.”
Every year on Camp Day, restaurant owners donate 100 per cent of the proceeds from hot and iced coffee sales to Tim Hortons Foundation Camps and raise additional funds through Camp Day bracelets, Camp Day donuts, Donation Badges, and other unique fundraising initiatives developed by local Tims restaurant owners and their team members.
“The dedication and commitment Tims restaurant owners have for Camp Day along with the generosity of Canadians make it possible for thousands of youth to access programs that challenge, inspire, and change lives,” says Duncan Fulton, Board Chair of the Foundation Camps. “Thank you for showing up for the youth who need it most. You’ve made a lasting impact – not just this year, but for years to come.”
In 1964, the first restaurant in Hamilton, Ontario opened its doors. It is Canada’s largest restaurant chain operating in the quick service industry with nearly 4,000 restaurants across the country. The company has more than 6,000 restaurants in Canada, the United States and around the world.
