Cariboo Memorial Hospital Foundation members accepted a $9,284.89 donation from Tim Hortons Friday, Oct. 6 in Williams Lake.
Co-owners John Sharman and Alek Sharman earmarked their Smile Cookie campaign’s proceeds to the foundation.
“We iced 6,189 cookies,” said foundation member Tammy Tugnum. “The cookes went for $1.50 each.”
Tugnum said the money is a big boost to this year’s fundraising efforts.
The foundation’s 2023 gala, which was sold out by Sept. 18, is happening on Saturday, Nov. 18.
This year’s theme is Vintage Christmas.
