May 2026 – Arnprior, ON – The Arnprior Regional Health Foundation is excited to share that this year’s Tim Hortons Smile Cookie Campaign raised a record-breaking $22,894.28 for local health care.
The campaign ran from April 27 to May 3 at the three Arnprior Tim Hortons locations. Every Smile Cookie purchased helps support the Foundation’s Scope for Hope Endoscopy Campaign, which is raising funds for new endoscopy equipment at Arnprior Regional Health. This life-saving equipment helps patients receive important diagnostic care closer to home and will improve access to care for people in our community.
The funds raised through this year’s Smile Cookie Campaign bring the Foundation even closer to completing the Scope for Hope Endoscopy Campaign.
Support for the Smile Cookie Campaign continues to grow each year in Arnprior, showing just how much this community cares about local health care, their neighbours, and the hospital.
Last year, Tim Hortons across Canada helped raise more than $22.6 million for local charities and community groups. Since the campaign began in 1996, Smile Cookie has raised more than $151 million across the country.
Chris McCluskey, Arnprior Tim Hortons, shared:
“The Arnprior Tim Hortons family is incredibly proud and grateful to see this year’s Smile Cookie Campaign raise a record-breaking amount in support of local healthcare. We want to sincerely thank our amazing staff, dedicated volunteers, and the entire community for coming together once again to support life-saving equipment close to home. It’s inspiring to see what can happen when a community rallies together to make a difference.”
“We are so thankful for the amazing support we received from our community,” said Ben Gardiner, Executive Director of the Arnprior Regional Health Foundation. “This campaign would not be possible without everyone who bought a Smile Cookie, our wonderful volunteers, the hardworking Arnprior Tim Hortons staff, and the continued support of the McCluskey family. Every cookie purchased is helping bring vital patient care equipment to Arnprior Regional Health and making a difference for all patients and families.”
The Foundation would also like to thank all of the volunteers who helped decorate cookies during the week-long campaign. Their time and enthusiasm helped make this year’s event such a success.
For more than 20 years, the Arnprior Tim Hortons locations and the McCluskey family have been proud supporters of the Arnprior Regional Health Foundation and local health care.
