A little smile goes a long way. The continued generosity of Guests and Restaurant owners provides much needed support to deserving charities across the country all the way from Stollery Children's Hospital Foundation in Edmonton to The Children's Breakfast Clubs in Toronto.

New this year, Tim Hortons has introduced an alternative way to take part in the Smile Cookie campaign. Guests can now show support with the purchase of a Smile Cookie car decal for $1 plus tax, with the full $1 going to local charities. 

The Smile Cookie campaign began in 1996 as a way to help raise funds for the Hamilton Children's Hospital in Ontario, and has grown to become a major fundraising event at Tim Hortons Restaurants. Nationally, Tim Hortons Restaurant owners support more than 460 local charities, hospitals and community programs through the campaign and last year, the Smile Cookie campaign raised $6.3 million across Canada.
