Chatham, Ontario – The Children’s Treatment Centre Foundation of Chatham-Kent is proud to share the success of the 2026 Tim Hortons Smile Cookie Campaign in support of local children and youth receiving services through the Centre. Thanks to the incredible support of the community, local Tim Hortons restaurant owners, and dedicated volunteers, this year’s campaign raised $66,252 for programs and services at the Children’s Treatment Centre that are not funded through government sources, including social work, therapeutic recreation, and music therapy.

The campaign was made possible through the partnership and generosity of local Tim Hortons owners, the Pritchard family and Mike and Paula Grail, who once again selected the Children’s Treatment Centre Foundation as the local Smile Cookie charity recipient.

More than 100 volunteers also played an important role throughout the campaign, spending countless hours baking, decorating, packaging, and delivering Smile Cookies from the Armouries kitchen to help ensure the initiative’s success across Chatham-Kent.

“The support we receive through Smile Cookie is truly incredible,” said Mike Genge, President and CEO of the Children’s Treatment Centre Foundation. “This campaign continues to show the strength and generosity of our community. Every cookie purchased helps provide important programs and services for children and families across Chatham-Kent.”

Nationally, the 2026 Tim Hortons Smile Cookie Campaign raised more than $23.3 million in support of over 700 charities and community groups across Canada, highlighting the widespread impact of the initiative from coast to coast.

The Tim Hortons Smile Cookie Campaign continues to bring communities together each year while creating meaningful local impact for organizations supporting children, families, and individuals in need.
