Day 54: Tim Horton’s Camp Day June 2nd In Wasaga Beach

Day 54 of 365

June 2nd is Camp Day. Every penny from coffee sales at the two Wasaga Beach Tim’s goes to the Tim Horton Children’s Foundation.  In 2009, Camp Day raised more than $9.4 million.

That is a lot of money. Buy a coffee instead of tea or visit Tim’s instead of McDonalds or Coffee Time just for day and help raise even more this year.

“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.”

Interestingly 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.

Put another way YOUR Dollars are at work in OUR community. I was pretty disgusted driving past Beach 1 Saturday evening to see the sheer amount of litter ( mainly plastic bottles) left on the Beach. Without wanting to sound like a grumpy old man, its mainly youngsters and they don’t show any respect or responsibility. ” Must be from Toronto” I thought but maybe not. Tims camps might help these kids from our town and elsewhere realise they have responsibilities and  learn to show  respect.

They will have fun

Please buy a coffee or two. Drink a large instead of a small.
