Tim Hortons says $1.3 million was raised through the sale of Special Olympics Donuts, with 100% of proceeds donated to Special Olympics Canada.
“This campaign shows what’s possible when Canadians choose to include,” says Gail Hamamoto, CEO of Special Olympics Canada. “Every Special Olympics Donut purchased will help open doors for athletes of all ages and abilities across the country – fueling confidence, connection, and opportunity through sport.
“We are deeply grateful to our partner Tim Hortons, their restaurant owners, team members, guests, our Special Olympics community and every supporter who believes in the power of inclusion- in sport and in life.”
The funds raised from Special Olympics Donuts support year-round, inclusive sport programs for more than 40,000 athletes with intellectual and developmental disabilities in communities across Canada, said officials.
“We’re so proud of Tim Hortons restaurant owners and their team members from across the country for raising $1.3 million through Special Olympics Donuts,” said Axel Schwan, President of Tim Hortons. “Thank you to Tim’s guests for their incredible support. Your generosity is helping to make sports more accessible for Special Olympics athletes.”
