Tim Hortons restaurant owners and thousands of generous community members combined broke yet another Smile Cookie record by raising $72,023.07 for the Norfolk General Hospital Foundation. The donation will kick off the Emergency Department campaign funding the patient bedside monitoring system.

Like many years before, Norfolk’s local Tim Hortons restaurant owners Grant and Cheryl Nelson, Steve and Shaun Salverda, and new owners Mary Blakemore and Kaer Saffouri came together to support their local hospital.

The patient monitoring system in the emergency department needs updating. It is at the end of its service contract and parts are no longer available through the manufacturer so maintaining the system is costly. The cost of the system is $360,000.

“Monitor failures will impact patient care, with no ability to monitor cardiac rhythm or other vital signs at the bedside or centrally.” – Adam Isaacs, Director of ED and ICU at Norfolk General Hospital explaining why this update is essential to patient care.

Locally our Tim Hortons stores have donated nearly $400,000 to the Norfolk General Hospital Foundation since the program’s inception.

“We are so grateful to our Norfolk Tim Hortons teams, you step up every campaign and show the community how much you care.” – Penny Bellhouse

Robinson Buick GMC helps raise over $3K in funds for Norfolk General Hospital

They raised this money through a fundraiser called Cars for a Cause where during our assigned months we earned a portion of proceeds from each car sold. In their first year, Cars for a Cause sold 141 vehicles bi-monthly supporting Norfolk General Hospital Foundation.

“We sincerely appreciate third-party fundraisers like Cars for a Cause. We couldn’t achieve nearly as much in our small community without them.” – Penny Bellhouse, Executive Director Norfolk General Hospital Foundation.
