Tim Hortons raises record $11.8M for Camp Day

June 11, 2013

Tim Hortons' restaurant owners and guests raised a record $11.8 million for the Tim Horton Children's Foundation's biggest fundraiser of the year, Camp Day. The money raised on Camp Day, which was June 5, will help send more than 16,000 economically disadvantaged kids in Canada and the U.S. to camp.

On Camp Day, more than 4,000 Tim Hortons restaurant locations donate all proceeds from coffee sales to the Tim Horton Children's Foundation (THCF) and host fundraising events to raise additional money for the camps. Last year's event raised a then-record $11 million.

"Breaking the cycle of poverty and helping economically disadvantaged children aspire for a brighter future is at the heart of Tim Horton Children's Foundation," said Dave Newnham, vice president and executive director, Tim Horton Children's Foundation. "None of this would be possible without the support of our loyal guests and dedication of our Tim Hortons restaurant owners and team members."

In addition to purchasing a Tim Hortons coffee on June 5, guests had the opportunity to text a $5 donation, donate online or make a donation in restaurant by purchasing a $1 Rent-a-Tent or $5 Rent-a-Cabin.
