OLEAN - Help make a difference in the community by purchasing a smile cookie April 29th through May 5th at participating local Tim Hortons locations. Smile cookies purchased throughout the week will benefit Olean General Hospital (OGH) with 100% of the proceeds being donated to the maternity and delivery department thanks to a partnership with Tim Hortons.
Smile cookies are $1.50 each and can be purchased at these participating locations: Allegany Tim Hortons (3012 Route 417, Olean), the Olean Tim Hortons (501 N. Union Street, Olean), and the new Olean location (1401 E. State Street, Olean). Purchasing a smile cookie is the perfect way to a give a smile and get a smile!
“We want to thank our local Tim Hortons for deciding to philanthropically invest in our most precious patients by supporting the maternity department,” said Steven Jackson, president, OGH Foundation. “It’s evident that our community understands our hospital is an asset. Through partnerships like these, supporting our hospital means we have opportunities to grow, develop, and maintain critical services.”
The Smile Cookie program began as a fundraiser selling cookies to benefit Hamilton Children’s Hospital in Ontario, Canada in 1996 and has evolved into an all-out fundraising campaign to support children’s hospitals and charities across the U.S. and Canada. The cookies - a standard chocolate chip - are simple, sweet and unique with each one decorated by different team members and guests, ensuring that no two look the exact same. The Smile Cookie campaign has a legacy, with over $90 million raised since its inception.
“We’re so excited to be able to work with Olean General Hospital and donate 100% of the proceeds raised in Olean from the Smile Cookie campaign to their maternity department. The hospital is a great partner for us to team up with and make the community even better,” said Blake Tarana, local Tim Hortons owner.
