County Hortons restaurant owners Paul and Valerie Massey will present the funds from the $1 Smile Cookie purchases Sept. 14-20 to the hospital foundation.

“The Smile Cookie campaign has continuously been successful year after year thanks to our loyal guests for their kindness and support,” said Paul Massey. “We are honoured to support Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation for the seventh year in a row with all of the proceeds raised, and to share smiles with all of our dedicated guests.”
The local Smile Cookie program has raised in excess of $35,000 for priority medical equipment needs for the County’s hospital.
“We are thrilled to have been selected as the recipients of this wonderful event,” said Shannon Coull, executive director of the PECMH Foundation. “We hope our community will see this special fundraising week at Tim Hortons as another sign that we are all committed to building a vibrant future for Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital.”
The Smile Cookie campaign started in 1996 to help raise funds for the Hamilton Children’s Hospital in Ontario and has grown to become a major fundraising event at Tim Hortons restaurants.
“We’re excited to participate in the Smile Cookie campaign again this year. It’s such a pleasure to partner with the Hospital Foundation, a local charity that does such impactful work in Prince Edward County. Our team members craft each Smile Cookie with care and are proud to serve them to guests who come in throughout the week to support such a great cause,” said Massey.
