Tim Hortons® is all about sharing the love and bringing warm smiles to every person’s face.
Through its first-ever Smile Cookie Campaign in the Philippines, Canada’s most favorite coffee chain successfully raised funds for the benefit of Tahanang Walang Hagdanan, Inc. – an organization dedicated to uplifting the lives of orthopedically handicapped persons.
“We are very grateful to every person who took part in the very first Smile Cookie Campaign in the country,” says Rickie Yap, president and CEO of Tim Hortons® Philippines. “No doubt, every Smile Cookie bought has helped bring smiles and raise funds to aid our partner organization Tahanang Walang Hagdanan.”
Proceeds from the campaign will be used for the improvement of TWH’s facilities. Founded by Sr. Valeriana Baerts, ICM, TWH offers rehabilitation and skills training to help people with disabilities become more self-reliant. Its core services include mobility aid assistance training, medical assistance training and livelihood seminars.
Present at the turnover ceremony were Stephanie Balois-Guerrero and Valerie Ty of Tim Hortons Philippines, and Wilhemina Quiroga of Tahanang Walang Hagdanan.
The Smile Cookie Campaign was first established in 1996 to help a children’s hospital in Ontario. Today the campaign continues to raise support for charities and causes specific to the communities in which Tim Hortons operates.
