CEO of the RVH Foundation Eric Dean says they were thrilled to be chosen as one of the recipients of the campaign.

The funds will go to support the update and expansion of the RVH birthing unit. Dean says the funds were important but the awareness raised for both charities where equally important. “It gets people thinking about what they can do for moms and babies.”

Kelly Hubbard, executive Director Of Hospice Simcoe says the funds make a huge impact for their charity.

This is the 5th year Hospice has been a recipient of the Smile Cookie Campaign. Hubbard says the first year funds raised totaled $70 thousand, and is thrilled to see that the donations keep on increasing.

Canada wide, $9.8 million was raised for over 550 charities.
