Thank you for showing that you #ChooseToInclude with the Special Olympics Donut!
Thank you to everyone who participated this past weekend and purchased the Special Olympics Donut from Tim Hortons! It was great to see all of the photos shared on social media from all corners of the province, especially when so many of them were from proud Torch Run members like you! 100% of the proceeds are going to support Special Olympics programs across the country, so thank you for helping us to raise the dough(nut)!

Stay tuned for an announcement with the official fundraising total!
