Niagara Falls, ON – From April 28 to May 4, Tim Hortons Smile Cookies will once again be making a difference in the lives
of children, youth, and families in our community. This year, proceeds from Niagara Falls Tim Hortons locations will
support Pathstone Mental Health and Autism Ontario’s South Region — two organizations making a lasting impact
across the region.
To officially launch the campaign, a Kick-Off Event will be held on Monday, April 28 from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the
Tim Hortons at 4725 Dorchester Road in Niagara Falls. Niagara Falls Mayor Jim Diodati, alongside Shaun Baylis, CEO of
Pathstone Mental Health, and representatives from Autism Ontario, will be on-site to decorate cookies and celebrate
this meaningful community partnership.
“This camp experience means the world to both our autistic campers and their families”, says Marg Spoelstra, CEO of
Autism Ontario. “Without the support of the Smile Cookie campaign, it simply wouldn’t happen. Autism Ontario is so
grateful to Tim Hortons for their outstanding community leadership and generosity.”
“Every Smile Cookie purchased helps provide access to services for kids and families in Niagara,” says Shaun Baylis, CEO
of Pathstone Mental Health. “We are proud to partner with Tim Hortons and Autism Ontario on this campaign. It is a
simple way for people to give back, but the impact is profound. Smile Cookies help us fund programs that give children
the support they need, when they need it most.”
How You Can Help:
• Buy a Smile Cookie at any participating Niagara Falls Tim Hortons between April 28 and May 4.
• Pre-order Smile Cookies for your workplace, school, or group using the order form available at local Tim Hortons
locations.
• Spread the word by sharing your Smile Cookie photos on social media and tagging @PathstoneMH and
@AutismOntario.
100% of proceeds from each $2.00 Smile Cookie sold in Niagara Falls will stay local, directly supporting youth mental
health programs through Pathstone and Autism Ontario’s South Region 25th annual Summer Camp for autistic children,
youth, and adults.
Whether you buy one cookie or a hundred, you are helping to create a brighter future for kids in our community.
