From September 14 to September 20, 100% of proceeds from each Smile Cookie purchase will support local charities in every Tim Hortons community

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Every year, Tim Hortons guests and restaurant owners rally together behind the weeklong Smile Cookie campaign. The annual campaign sees 100% of proceeds from each Smile Cookie — a chocolate chunk cookie topped with pink and blue icing drawing out a smile — purchase donated to local charities.
