TORONTO, July 8, 2024
/CNW/ - Tim Hortons Camp Day is back on July 17 with 100 per cent of proceeds from all
hot and iced coffee sales donated to Tim Hortons Foundation
Camps!
The mission for Tim Hortons Foundation Camps is to provide
life-changing opportunities for underserved youth to help them
reach their full potential. Over 320,000 youth have been supported
through multi-year development programs in the foundation's 50-year
history.
"We're thrilled to be celebrating the 50th
anniversary of Tim Hortons Foundation Camps this Camp Day and the
incredible impact that the foundation has had in empowering and
inspiring so many deserving young people year after year," says
Axel Schwan, President of Tim
Hortons.
"The growth opportunities and experiences delivered at our seven
Tims Camps would not be possible
without the support and generosity of Tims restaurant owners and
Tims guests who have made the annual Camp Day campaign a phenomenal
success. I encourage everyone to join us on July 17 and purchase a hot or iced coffee to help
make an impact in the lives of young people who deserve every
opportunity to succeed."
Camp Day was kickstarted in 1987 by 58 restaurant owners in
Atlantic Canada who donated 24
hours of sales to the Tim Horton Children's Camp in Tatamagouche, N.S. The initiative expanded to
all Tim Hortons restaurants across Canada in 1991. Tim Hortons, Tims restaurant
owners and guests have collectively raised over $12.7 million on Camp Day last year and a total
of over $250 million has been raised
since 1991.
"Camp Day is the Foundation's most important fundraiser of the
year. Thanks to the dedication of restaurant owners and their
guests, we are able to continue empowering youth, and help them
build the futures they envision for themselves," says Caroline Barham, President of Tim Hortons
Foundation Camps and Tim Hortons restaurant owner.
"I am proud to be a part of something so special, so impactful,
and so FUN. And that's really, what this day is all about. Seeing
and feeling the collective power of the Tim Hortons community.
One coffee at a time!"
"Camp provided me with the confidence early in my adolescence to
take on challenges, develop lifelong friendships, and pursue my
ambitions," says Brandon Hayashi,
former Tims Camper.
"Spending time immersed in nature at Tim Hortons Foundation
Camps deepened my connection to the environment, fostering an
appreciation for the natural world that continues to inspire me
today. The confidence I gained in interacting with peers and
mentors at camp laid the groundwork for developing the essential
skills I need to work alongside my patients, a critical aspect of
my journey in medical school."
