Wings, mascots to support Tim Hortons Camp Day

Wednesday, June 3, 2009 was a special day for Tim Hortons Store Owners, staff and customers in the Rochester area, and all over North America. It's Camp Day! Camp Day is the one day a year when Tim Hortons Store Owners across Canada and the United States donate every penny from coffee sales to the Tim Horton Children's Foundation. In 2008, Camp Day raised more than $8.8 million U.S.

Rochester Community Baseball and the Red Wings were proud to support Tim Hortons Camp Day June 3.

Spikes and pitcher Juan Morillo greeted Camp Day customers at Tim Hortons, 4760 West Henrietta Rd., while Mittsy and pitcher Kevin Mulvey appeared at Tim Hortons, 720 Pittsford-Victor Rd.

What One Cup of Coffee Can Do
Every time a customer buys a coffee at Tim Hortons on Camp Day they will help send close to 14,000 kids - who could otherwise not afford it - on the camping adventure of a lifetime. All children who attend one of the Foundation's six camps are selected from within the communities where Tim Hortons stores are located. Tim Hortons Store Owners work closely with local youth organizations and schools to select children, between the ages of nine and 12, to attend a 10-day summer camp session or seven day winter camp session.

"By purchasing a coffee on Camp Day, our customers give kids, who live in their very own community, an opportunity to experience a camping adventure that will inspire them for years to come," says Bill Moir, President, Tim Horton Children's Foundation. "Together we can continue to foster within thousands of children the quest for a brighter future."
