Smile Cookie campaign sets new record for Chilliwack, Abbotsford and area health care needs
FRASER VALLEY – People in the Fraser Valley are more than willing to open their wallets to satisfy their sweet tooth and support a great cause, based on the record-breaking results of a recent community initiative
The Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation says the weeklong Smile Cookie campaign from April 27 to May 3 brought in a record-breaking amount for local health care thanks to the generosity of people in Chilliwack, Abbotsford, Mission and Hope, and the support of Tim Hortons franchises locally.
Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation was selected as the charity of choice by 21 stores within the Fraser Valley, including Mission, Hope, Rosedale and Abbotsford, raising an outstanding $87,764.06, the highest amount raised in British Columbia.
Smile Cookies are signature Chocolate Chunk Cookies hand-decorated with pink and blue icing to create a smile. Store owners selected the local charities they wished to support.
