The annual Smile Cookie campaign is back at area Tim Hortons.
Nipissing Serenity Hospice is benefiting locally once again.
“This campaign is of significant importance to the hospice,” says Gil Pharand, Executive Director. “This is the fourth time we’ve been the benefactor of the campaign and it’s just been huge for us.”
He says over $175,000 has been raised over the previous three campaigns. “The funding goes towards the Hospice as a whole,” he says. “We have to fundraise anywhere between $800,000 to $1 million a year just to keep our operations going.”
Smile Cookies are $1.50 with Pharand saying 100% of the proceeds locally will go to the hospice.
The campaign continues through May 7.
