Tim Hortons’ third-annual Holiday Smile Cookie Campaign returned to Pembroke and Petawawa in November, raising $15,086 for the Pembroke Regional Hospital. The popular fundraiser supports local health care, with proceeds helping the hospital purchase essential equipment and enhance patient services, organizers say.
Proceeds from the campaign will go toward a new HUGS Infant Security System at Pembroke Regional Hospital, supporting the care of its youngest patients. Between Nov. 17 and 23, a total of 15,086 cookies were baked, decorated, and sold at three Tim Hortons locations in Pembroke and three in Petawawa, organizers say.
“The Pembroke Regional Hospital Foundation is honoured to have been selected as the local charity partner for this year’s Holiday Smile Cookie Campaign in Pembroke and Petawawa, and we want to send a big thank you to our community for purchasing their Smile cookies and supporting local healthcare,” said Roger Martin, PRHF Foundation Executive Director.
