Campbellton – Dalhousie – Atholville, N.B. – Employees of Tim Hortons, as well as staff members and volunteers of the Friends of Healthcare Foundation, joined efforts and raised a total of $11,161 for the Foundation through the Smile Cookie Campaign, making the activity a huge success.
Over 11,000 of the tasty cookies were sold between September 14 and September 20, 2015 at the four Tim Hortons locations across the Restigouche area.
“We are happy to continue supporting the Friends of Healthcare Foundation” said Jack MacMillan. “This year, with a team effort, we have achieved very good results once again. This activity is a success across the board and I want to thank the public for its outstanding support.”
For her part, Nancy Nicol, Chairperson of the Board of Directors of the Friends of Healthcare Foundation stated: “This is the thirteenth year that the Foundation has partnered with Tim Hortons within the scope of this initiative. This year’s proceeds will go towards the purchase of a birthing bed for the Obstetric/Gynecology Department.”
The Executive Director of the Friends of Healthcare Foundation, Jean-Luc Landry, said he was quite pleased with the outcome of the 2015 Smile Cookie Campaign. “It’s so wonderful to see how much community members in the Restigouche value and support their local foundation – their support is truly world-class. Thank you so much to the residents of the Restigouche region. A special thank-you also goes out to Jack MacMillan and his Tim Hortons employees in Atholville, Campbellton, and Dalhousie. Many thanks also to the volunteers for their generous donation of time and to everyone else who participated in this fundraiser by purchasing over 11,000 Smile Cookies.”
