Chatham-Kent coffee drinkers did their part to help send underserved youth to camp.
"We're so grateful to the many generous Tims guests who supported Camp Day again this year – and to our incredible Tim Hortons restaurant owners across the country for donating 100 per cent of proceeds from every hot coffee and iced coffee sold to our foundation," said Axel Schwan, President of Tim Hortons. "Thanks to your support, we're making a big impact in the lives of young people who deserve every opportunity to succeed."
Tim Hortons held Camp Day on July 16.
Across the country, $13 million was raised. Chatham-Kent's restaurants pulled in $74,000.
Tim Hortons Foundation Camps were founded in 1974, with the aim of teaching youth resilience, confidence, leadership, and responsibility at no cost to them or their families. Since the camps opened, more than 325,000 young people have been able to take part in the camp development program.
