All proceeds from purchases of hot and iced coffee at Tim Hortons on Wednesday, July 13 support sending youth from underserved communities to camps.
On the 31st annual Tim Hortons Camp Day, you can also support the cause by purchasing a Camp Day bracelet for $2 in one of four vibrant colours, or a pair of red and white camp-themed socks for $5, with net proceeds supporting Tims Camps.
Camp Day has raised over $225 million in its 30-year history and has helped Tim Hortons Foundation Camps support more than 300,000 youth aged 12 to 16 through a multi-year camp-based program at seven camps, at no cost to them or their families.
While at Tim's Camps, campers are equipped with leadership, resilience, and responsibility skills, that allow them to open doors to their future.
"Many of the young people we support have never had the opportunity to experience camp or travel outside their city or town. Our multi-day, overnight camp experiences are uniquely powerful in quickly building critical skills in youth, and strengthening social ties and community connections that can help youth better cope with challenging circumstances," said Graham Oliver, a Tim Hortons restaurant owner and president of Tim Hortons Foundation Camps.
"We challenge young people. We help them see their best self. And we work with them as they carve a path towards the future they want," added Oliver.
Over the past 31 years, Camp Day has grown to become one of the most important and cherished days on the Tim Hortons calendar. All restaurant owners, team members and corporate staff dedicate their efforts to making each year's campaign more impactful than the last.
"The profound impact Camp Day has had in raising over $225 million in its history and supporting over 300,000 youth is a testament to the dedication and generosity of Tims restaurant owners and team members and the incredible support from Tims guests year after year," said Axel Schwan, president of Tim Hortons.
