A cup of coffee or an iced coffee tomorrow will go a long way towards brightening a child's summer.
Wednesday is Tim Horton's Camp Day, with 100 per cent of proceeds from all coffee and iced coffee sales going towards sending youth to Tim Horton's camps.
Other activities at the Dauphin location includes raffles, window washing in the drive-thru, and bracelet and Camp day clothing sales, with all proceeds from these events also going to the fundraiser.
Local franchisee Greg Crisanti says Camp Day certainly touches home to him.
"As owners, we get to see and hear the stories from the children that have graduated from camp. When they are in our program, they are in it for 5 years and get to go to camp for 5 years. And hearing the stories from those children that have graduated, have grown up, finished college or university, and have become doctors and such, it really hits close to home to know that you have made a difference. So camp day is very special for us."
Crisanti adds they are happy to know that at least two kids from the Parkland region will be attending Tim Horton's camps.
"And that was really special for us. With the amount that we raised locally, that there will be two children from the Parkland area heading to A'berta to camp."
Fundraising efforts began over the weekend with a Yard sale at the Dauphin restaurant, and Crisanti says Dauphin is currently third in all of Manitoba for money raised so far for this Camp Day campaign.
