Tim Hortons annual Camp Day is today (June 5) and every cup of coffee purchased within a 24-hour period that day will help to send thousands of children to camp, including a couple from the South Cariboo.
Last year, Camp Day raised $11 million and assisted 15,000 deserving youngsters from economically disadvantaged homes to go on a once-in-a-lifetime camping adventure.
Entire proceeds from coffee sales on Camp Day will be donated to the fund, and additionally, money will be raised through a number of other endeavours at the 100 Mile House location.
Assistant manager Sadie Lawrence says people will have the opportunity to purchase prize-filled balloons all day.
"You pop the balloon and get a prize inside."
People can also purchase a guess on the number of jelly beans in one jar, and gumballs in another. The closest guess will net the winner all of the contents.
A barbecue will be fired up outside from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. where for $3, people can purchase a hotdog and drink.
Lawrence says there may be more going on and people should drop by to check it out.
