Tim Hortons to donate day's coffee sales to camp program
June 2, 2009
TORONTO — Tim Hortons is celebrating Camp Day by donating coffee sales for the day from its stores across Canada and the United States to the Tim Horton Children's Foundation, the company has announced.
Campers aged 9 to 12 years old can attend a 10-day summer camp session or a seven-day winter camp session at one of the foundation's six camps. All children who attend are selected by Tim Hortons' store owners who work closely with local youth organizations and schools to identify kids who would most benefit from the experience.
During their stay at camp, kids participate in a wide range of programs and activities designed to build self-confidence, self esteem and leadership skills. The foundation is committed to providing an enriched and memorable experience for campers, giving them confidence in their abilities, pride in their accomplishments and a more positive view of the world and their place in it.
