Sport Venture has been selected for the second consecutive year as the charity of choice for the Tim Hortons Holiday Smile Cookie Campaign.

Until November 19th, 100 per cent of smile cookies in Regina, Balgonie, Indian Head, and Emerald Park will support five free recreational leagues for youth in football, soccer, baseball, basketball, and hockey. The funds will also contribute to the Tim Hortons Foundation Camps.

Sports Venture, part of Ranch Ehrlo’s community outreach programs, is dedicated to providing quality sports leagues to vulnerable youth and families throughout the year, free of charge. The program aims to eliminate barriers to participation, offering opportunities for those who may otherwise miss out on the numerous benefits of engaging in sports and recreation.

“We are extremely grateful to our Tim Hortons stores in Regina, Balgonie, Indian Head, and Emerald Park for their partnership and friendship. These stores are locally owned by families who, like us, are passionate about making a difference in our community,” said Gloria Patrick, Ehrlo Sport Venture manager.

Members of the Regina Pats, the Regina Police Service, and other organizations have been handing out cookies throughout the week.
