West End Pembroke Tim Hortons Manager Alex Wilson
Yesterday was Camp Day at Tim Hortons right across the country and here in Pembroke store Manager Alex Wilson worked his third annual but he has fond memories of this day long before he even began working for the company:
When you purchased a hot or iced coffee, 100% of the cost of the beverage went directly to the Tm Hortons Foundation sending kids to camp since 1991. Tims restaurant owners and guests have collectively raised over $262 million through Camp Day events to support the work of Tim Hortons Foundation Camps, which helps underserved youth reach their full potential. An amazing $12.8 million was raised on Camp Day last year!
Even Pembroke Fire Chief Scott Selle was on hand making sure that drive through customer’s wind shields were sparkling clean before making their Camp day purchases.
.
Wilson says that the day resonates with him because when he looks at all of his valued customers walk through his door, he knows that together they are making dreams come true for kids who truly need a helping hand this summer:
Wilson is eagerly awaiting the final tally for yesterday’s campaign hoping that it eclipses previous years totals. What is certain, however, is that Wilson will be involved in many more Camp Days in years to come.
