Tim Horton’s “Smile Cookie Campaign” was a huge success for the Spirit of the North Healthcare Foundation.
The campaign saw proceeds from cookie sales at all six Prince George locations last week raise over $24,342 for the foundation.
Spirit of the North CEO Judy Neiser says the funds will go towards a diagnostic scanner that has a price tag of one point four million dollars.
“That will mean huge advantages to UHNBC,” she says. “This is a big piece of equipment, that not only is able to diagnose and detect oncology patients, it’s also heart and stroke, and can detect even low-levels of dementia in patients. It’s a wonderful piece of equipment that we really, really, need in the North.”
Neiser says contributions from the campaign went toward a $100,000 donation made to the Canadian Cancer Society Kordyban Lodge.
