youth from underserved communities. For every hot or iced coffee purchased at Tim Hortons on Camp Day, the company made a 100 per cent donation to send a kid to camp. They were also selling Camp Day merchandise at Tim Horton stores across the continent, and another option was to round up your order to help or drop some change in their coin box. Lots of festivities surrounded the Camp Day celebrations locally, with the Leamington Fire Department spending time at each of the three Leamington franchises. Activities included free balloons and face painting for children. Gina Geauvreau, Camp Day Captain at Leamington’s Tim Hortons North #562, was excited to see everyone celebrating. “This is awesome,” she said. “We are having fun with it.” Since the camps began, over 300,000 youth have experienced a confidence-building, life-changing experience. Totals aren’t in yet, but it’s expected to be in the millions.
