Thousands of smiles – The Smile Cookie campaign at the Palmerston Tim Hortons was an overwhelming success this year, raising $10,186 for the Palmerston and District Hospital Foundation (PDHF). This was the best year yet for the campaign at the Palmerston location, which has raised $32,347 for the local hospital since 2015. Dale Franklin, development officer for PDHF, said the funds will go towards the foundation’s radiothon fundraising goal of $125,000 to purchase a new anaesthetic gas machine.
