At the city’s Tim Hortons locations today, 100% of the proceeds from sales of hot and iced coffees will be donated to Tim Hortons Foundation Camps.
The camps 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.
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. Since that year, Tim Hortons, Tims restaurant owners, and guests have collectively raised over $250 million through Camp Day.
Guests can also support Tim Hortons Foundation Camps today by purchasing a donut for $2, a Camp Day bracelet for $3, or a $2 Donation Badge, with net proceeds supporting Tims Camps.
