It was an incredible year for this delicious charity event as Dauphin sold 42,000 cookies between May 1st to May 7th for a local charity.

That equates to $63,895.50 in sales, with all of the proceeds going to the Parkland Crisis Center and Women's shelter.

Kari Prawdzik, executive director of the Crisis Center in Dauphin sends out her appreciation for everyone that helped out.

"I'd like to thank the community for the support, our sponsors, the many volunteers that dedicated their time to help decorate all of the smile cookies, and of course Greg, Chris, and all of the staff at the Dauphin Tim Hortons who were just wonderful to work with."

Dauphin was the top sale area in the province, and number 2 in the entire country, second only to Dunnville, Ontario.

This year did have a slight change to the event, as cookies went up to $1.50 from $1. This did allow for a notable increase in the funds raised for the charities involved.

Across North America, these smiling sweet treats raised nearly  $20,000,000 for a wide range of charities.
