A Sweet Reason to Smile: Tim Hortons Partners with Riverside for Smile Cookie Campaign

November 07, 2025

There’s only one thing better than a cookie that tastes good - a cookie that does good. From November 17 to 23, every bite of a Holiday Smile Cookie at Tim Hortons in Fort Frances will help bring advanced diagnostic imaging technology to our communities, including the district’s first MRI.

During this National campaign, 100 per cent of Smile Cookie proceeds will be donated to charities and community groups, with 50 per cent of local sales proudly supporting Riverside Health Care’s Lights, Camera, DIAGNOSIS! campaign and the remainder going to Tim Hortons Foundation Camps.

“We’re thrilled that this year’s Smile Cookie campaign will support Riverside’s Lights, Camera, DIAGNOSIS! campaign,” says Holly Kaemingh, Director of Fundraising, Riverside Health Care. “Every cookie sold helps bring advanced diagnostic imaging technology to our communities, improving care for patients and families across the Rainy River District. We’re so grateful to Tim Hortons for selecting us as their partner this year and can’t wait to see our community come together, one cookie at a time.”

The Tim Hortons Holiday Smile Cookie is a delicious white-chocolate sugar cookie with red and green sprinkles, hand-decorated with a cheerful white icing smile, a sweet way to make better care possible, close to home.

Last year, Canadians helped raise over $10.7 million through the Holiday Smile Cookie campaign, including more than $6,000 raised locally. This year, Riverside hopes to make that total even higher, all while spreading smiles across the community.

Cookies are $2 each and available for purchase at the Tim Hortons location in Fort Frances from November 17–23.

Individuals, businesses, and organizations interested in placing bulk orders or scheduling deliveries across the district can contact Holly Kaemingh, Director of Fundraising, at 807-274-6635. Deliveries will take place on Thursday, November 22, and Friday, November 23.

Whether you’re treating your family, friends, or co-workers, there’s no sweeter way to make a difference this season - one cookie, one smile, and one act of kindness at a time!
