Tim Hortons and Special Olympics Canada partnered together on Friday, Jan. 31 to Feb. 2 for their annual limited-time donut fundraiser. 100% of the proceeds from the Special Olympics donut sales go to Special Olympics athletes across Canada. Thank you, St. Marys, for your generosity to this important fundraiser.

Tim Hortons has been a proud partner since 2016 with Special Olympics Canada by sponsoring programs for youth like ActiveStart and FUNdamentals to sending gift cards to Special Olympic activities across the country. This proud partnership between the two help to teach the power of inclusion. Tim Hortons has hired many individuals with an intellectual disability at many of their restaurants across Canada including many Special Olympic athletes, proving that there really is a place for everyone.

Throughout the three-day fundraiser, St. Marys Tim Hortons sold 275 donuts raising $550 for the athletes.
