Orangeville, ON – April 28, 2025 – Get ready to smile! Tim Hortons’ beloved Smile Cookie campaign returns from April 28th to May 4th, and once again, all Orangeville Tim Hortons locations have chosen to support Headwaters Health Care Foundation (HHCF) through this year’s initiative.
For one week only, every Smile Cookie purchased at an Orangeville Tim Hortons will contribute 100% of proceeds to HHCF, directly funding vital medical equipment purchases at Headwaters Health Care Centre. This year’s campaign will support the purchase of two wireless fetal monitors that provide wireless monitoring of mother & baby during labour and delivery. Specifically, wireless fetal monitors enable wireless, continuous monitoring during labour, while allowing the mother to be mobile, resulting in a much better delivery experience and improved patient outcomes.
Smile Cookies will be available starting April 28th until May 4th for $2.00 each. This year, Tim Hortons has also expanded the campaign to include Smile Cookie collectable plushies for sale at $5.00 each, giving supporters another way to contribute to this meaningful cause.
“We are incredibly grateful to the local Tim Hortons and the Orangeville community for their unwavering support through the Smile Cookie campaign,” said Shauna Santarossa, Senior Development Officer at Headwaters Health Care Foundation. “Year after year, this initiative plays a crucial role in helping us invest in the necessary equipment to ensure Headwaters Health Care Centre can provide exceptional care, close to home for patients and families. It’s truly heartwarming to see the community rally behind our hospital in such a sweet way.”
Krista Goudreault and Cara Preuss, owners of local Orangeville Tim Hortons, expressed their enthusiasm for the campaign, stating, “Headwaters Health Care Centre holds a special place in our hearts, because everyone needs the hospital at one time or other in their life. We’re honored to support such a worthy cause through the Smile Cookie campaign each year. Our team is proud to help ensure that our local hospital has the resources it needs to serve our community.”
Headwaters Health Care Foundation encourages all community members to participate by purchasing Smile Cookies for their friends, family, and colleagues. Every cookie sold brings us one step closer to ensuring we can continue to provide exceptional care, close to home.
Don’t miss your chance to make a difference—one Smile Cookie at a time!
