US Edition$300K for local charities from smile cookies
- The Smile Cookie fundraiser held from April 28 to May 4 in 2025 successfully generated $81,654 to support the Alzheimer Society of Sarnia-Lambton.
- This fundraiser marked the first time the Alzheimer Society partnered with Tim Hortons, aiming to support programs not funded by the government despite funding shortfalls.
- Nearly 200 volunteer shifts helped decorate cookies during the campaign, which the Alzheimer Society said would fund services aiding people living with dementia and their caregivers locally.
- Marie Marcy-Smids explained that while the demand continues to increase, the available funding has not kept pace, and with Sarnia-Lambton’s population getting older, the challenges are expected to intensify over time.
- Although the group hoped to raise $70,000, Alzheimer Society Board Chair Brandon Vale said, "the community really came together for us," and this was their highest total yet.
