Helping
Support Tim Hortons' Camp Day
|
|
June
3 2009 was the day that Tim Horton restaurants across Canada
and the United States held their "Camp Day" fundraiser.
This initiative was started in 1974, and funds raised go to
provide a fun-filled camp environment for children from economically
disadvantaged homes. On June 3rd, every penny from the coffee
sales went to the Tim Horton Children's Foundation, who last
year sent almost 14,000 children from ages nine to 12 to camp.
For more information on the program, please click here.
