“This is our third year coordinating this campaign with our local Tim Hortons. The organization has been such gracious partner and we want to thank Tim Hortons for philanthropically investing in our most precious patients by supporting OGH maternity and delivery services,” said Steven Jackson, president, OGH Foundation. “Through partnerships like these, supporting our hospital means we have opportunities to grow, develop and maintain critical services.”
The Smile Cookie program began as a fundraiser selling cookies to benefit Hamilton Children’s Hospital in Ontario, Canada in 1996 and has evolved into an all-out fundraising campaign to support children’s hospitals and charities across the U.S. and Canada. The cookies – a standard chocolate chip – are simple, sweet and unique with each one decorated by different team members and guests, ensuring that no two look the exact same. The Smile Cookie campaign has a legacy, with over $90 million raised since its inception.
“We’re so excited to be able to work with Olean General Hospital once again. Focusing 100% of our smile cookie campaign donations around our community’s children is always a top priority, because investing in their well-being today shapes a stronger tomorrow for us all. Because of these values, the maternity department at OGH has been the ideal cause for support behind this initiative,” said Blake Tarana, local Tim Hortons owner. “OGH has been a great partner and we’re glad to give back to them.”
