On TIM HORTONS® Camp Day (June 6), 100 per cent of proceeds of hot coffee sales at participating restaurants across Canada are donated to the Tim Horton Children’s Foundation (THCF) and will go toward giving thousands of youth from low-income families a life-changing experience.
For the third year, Tim Hortons Guests can also purchase a limited edition Camp Day bracelet at participating Tim Hortons restaurants for just $2 while supplies last. These are available in four different colours: blue, red, green and orange.
Over the past 26 years, more than $200 million has been raised for the Tim Horton Children’s Foundation, allowing more than 250,000 kids to go to camp.
Funds raised on Camp Day provide so much more than fun trips to camp. THCF programs are deliberately designed to help kids from low-income families think differently about themselves and their future opportunities.
In Canada, one in seven children live in poverty. Youth from low income families face additional obstacles when it comes to academic performance, relationship building and physical and emotional well-being. A Tim Horton camp experience helps kids unlock their hidden strengths, develop critical life skills, find their own success and thrive as contributing members of their communities.
The Foundation uses the transformational power of repeated camp experiences to help youth develop the skills they need to become resourceful, responsible and empowered individuals to build a brighter future for themselves. Between camp visits, youth complete constructive actions which are targeted goals intended to support the transfer of learning back home and support the long-term growth of each individual.
