Huron -Perth nutrition program
receives $5,166 from Tim Hortons
There were plenty of smiles
shared in Clinton and Sea -
forth last week as the annual
Tim Hortons Smile Cookie
campaign raised $5,166 for
the Huron -Perth Eat & Learn
School Nutrition Program.
For one week, Tim Hortons
guests had the opportunity to
purchase chocolate chunk
Smile Cookies for $1, with all
proceeds from the sales sup-
porting the local community.
The restaurant owners
proudly handed over the
donation to the Huron -Perth
Eat & Learn School Nutrition
Program on October 28 at the
Tim Hortons located at 300
Ontario Street in Clinton and
all community members were
invited to join in the
celebration.
"This year's campaign was a
major success yet again and
we have our loyal guests to
thank for all of their wonderful
generosity, "said Liz Borrow -
man & Larry Zaleski, Tim
Hortons Restaurant Owners.
"We look forward to the Smile
Cookie campaign every year
because all of the proceeds go
directly to the Huron -Perth
Eat & Learn School Nutrition
Program, a local organization.
Clinton and Seaforth has once
again come together to show
its community spirit, helping
to raise much needed funds
for Huron -Perth Eat & Learn
School Nutrition Program."
"Thank you to everyone
who purchased a Smile
Cookie this week at Tim Hor-
tons, you truly showed the
power of a community com-
ing together to support a great
cause," said Nancy Fisher,
Community Manager at the
Huron -Perth Eat & Learn
School Nutrition Program.
"With all of the donations we
will be able to continue to pro-
vide nutritious food for
students!'
What began as a way to fun-
draise for the Hamilton Chil-
dren's Hospital in Ontario in
1996 has grown into a major
fundraising event across
North America. In 2013, the
Smile Cookie campaign raised
$5 million across Canada and
the United States. Nationally,

dren in the region regardless
of socio-economic status.

work with the friendly folks at
