Share a Smile with the Bonnechere Manor Foundation
Tim Hortons Annual Smile Cookie fundraiser starts TODAY!
September 19, 2011 – Renfrew, ON– Starting today there are even more smiling faces in Renfrew. While supplies last, Tim Hortons guests can purchase a special smiling chocolate chunk cookie for $1.00 plus taxes and all proceeds will be donated to the Bonnechere Manor Foundation.
“Tim Hortons is thrilled to share smiles with the Bonnechere Manor Foundation, through our annual Smile Cookie fundraiser,” says Donald Carty, Tim Hortons Restaurant Owner. “The success of the program would not be possible without the support and generosity of our community. On behalf of myself and all of our team members, I would like to thank all our guests for their continued support of this meaningful cause.”
Nationally, Tim Hortons Restaurant Owners support more than 345 local charities through the annual Smile Cookie Fundraiser. In 2010, the campaign raised $3.1 million to help make a true difference in the communities where Tim Hortons operates.
About Bonnechere Manor Foundation
The Bonnechere Manor Foundation is a volunteer led registered charity with the mandate of providing funds and equipment for the residents of Bonnechere Manor that are not covered under Ministry of Health mechanisms. The Foundation has been very active these past few years with their Auditorium Campaign; and with great community support, have now raised more than $340,000 of the total $440,000 required Foundation portion for the building. Thanks to this success, ‘Renfrew Rotary Hall’ is now open for resident and public use! However, funds still need to be raised before this project is over and the hall fully operational. In addition to the above funds, on the wish list are curtains for the stage, audio-visual equipment and window coverings. These additions will make Renfrew Rotary Hall an even better venue for the residents of Bonnechere Manor and the surrounding community.
Once the Auditorium project is complete, the Foundation can return to providing more traditional items and services to the residents of the Manor. Traditionally, the Foundation has covered costs for resident trips and outings; Wii fit equipment; interior decorative painting to promote resident comfort and safety; various building renovations; communal internet access; and other resident and building requests for equipment, supplies and services. The Auditorium is by far the largest project that the Foundation has taken-on and would have never been possible without the overwhelming and continued support received from the community!
“Know that with each cookie you eat and share, you are enhancing and enriching the lives of so many others” says Robyn Arseneau, Community Relations Coordinator for Bonnechere Manor and Secretary of the Bonnechere Manor Foundation. “The Foundation is excited and honoured to once again be the charity of choice for this year’s Smile Cookie Campaign! Huge thanks to Donald Carty and everyone who supports this week’s event!”
