ALBION/MEDINA – The two Tim Hortons in Albion together sold about 2,500 Smile cookies last week during a fundraiser for the Golisano Children’s Hospital. The cookies were $2 each and raised $5,000 for the hospital in Rochester.
Tim Hortons ramped up the promotions for the week-long effort, inviting first responders and other community leaders in to decorate the cookies.
The Medina site sold 1,452 cookies, raising $2,905, while Albion sold 1,074 cookies, raising $2,146, said store co-owner Joey Filipelli.
The family also owns three Tim Hortons in Rochester at Culver Road, Mount Read and Ridgeway. Those three sites collectively sold 805 Smile cookies and raised $1,608.
Altogether, the five Tim Hortons owned by the Filipelli family will be donating $6,659 to Golisano Children’s Hospital.
“The owners – Giuseppe and Shirley Filipelli, Joey Filipelli, Jennifer Karbowski and Jared Karbowski – are so grateful to our community for supporting this fundraiser,” the family said. “The Tim Hortons team and owners are incredibly thankful for our local law enforcement, Mercy Flight, Key Bank and other business leaders who came out to help us decorate cookies and bring awareness to the event.”
