Cookie campaign raises $7,358 for youth centre
The Clearview Youth Centre has benefitted from Tim Hortons’ Holiday Smile Cookie campaign to the tune of $7,358.
In total, $14,716 was raised during Holiday Smile Cookie Week, with the remaining $7,358 supporting Tim Hortons Foundation Camps.
Between Nov. 17 and 23, one dollar from every Holiday Smile Cookie sold at the Stayner, Sunnidale Corners, and Cashtown Corners restaurants was donated to the Clearview Youth Centre, with an additional dollar donated to Tim Hortons Foundation Camps.
“Thank you to Tim Hortons, and a big thank you to our community for supporting our Clearview Youth Centre. The generosity of this community will help build a space where youth can explore their potential and create lasting positive change,” said Mayor Doug Measures.
The funds raised will support the Centre’s mission to keep young minds active and engaged as plans progress for the opening of a brand-new Youth Centre in 2026.
This contribution will help bridge the gap between the Centre’s current programming and the expanded offerings planned for the new facility.
The future Youth Centre will build on the current vision by offering enhanced spaces for recreation, leadership, technology, arts, and mentorship – creating a vibrant hub where young people feel safe, supported, and inspired.
“We are so thankful to everyone who volunteered, baked, purchased, and supported to make Smile Cookie Week such a memorable and successful event. It was more than a fundraiser; it was a celebration of community, generosity, and heart,” said youth centre coordinator Courtney Rogers. “There was something truly magical about seeing so many people come together with a shared purpose.”
