NEW YORK, Aug. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Tim Hortons is proud to announce that with the support of Tims guests, restaurant owners, team members, and volunteers, this year's Camp Day campaign raised over $12.7 million that will be donated to Tim Hortons Foundation Camps, with $900,000 coming from the United States.

Tim Hortons raised $12.7 million, including $900,000 from the U.S., to support Tim Hortons Foundations Camps through this year's Camp Day fundraiser.

Tim Hortons Camp Day has now raised approximately $250 million in its history, which has supported sending more than 315,000 underserved youth between the ages of 12 to 16 to a multi-year camp-based program at Tims Camps. Campers are equipped with skills like leadership, resilience, and responsibility, empowering them to open doors to their future.

Every year on Camp Day, Tim Hortons and its restaurant owners donate 100% of all hot and iced coffee purchases (excluding taxes) to Tim Hortons Foundation Camps and raise additional funds through Camp Day bracelets and Donation Badges. Additionally, guests have a year-round opportunity to round up their orders on the Tims app with the difference going toward Tim Hortons Foundation Camps.

"Camp Day is an amazing team effort with our restaurant owners, team members, volunteers, and our generous guests all coming together to support youth empowerment through Tim Hortons Foundation Camps. I want to share my profound gratitude for everyone's involvement - thank you to those who participated and contributed to this year's Camp Day fundraiser!" said Katerina Glyptis, President of Tim Hortons U.S.
