Rebecca Truax, Interim CEO, RVH Foundation added, “RVH is so grateful to the team at Tim Hortons, and all those who purchased a Smile Cookie. We’re fortunate to live in a generous community whose members recognize the need to support vital patient care and fund equipment and expansion plans required in RVH’s Birthing Unit, where 2,000 babies are born each year.”
Every year for the past several years a record has been set for the total number of cookies sold in this community. The total this year grew by 5,400 over last year.
