"Tim Hortons® is thrilled to once again partner with the Detroit Red Wings and support the Detroit Red Wings Foundation," said Felipe Athayde, President, Tim Hortons® USA. "Their support to help grow the sport of hockey in our communities is something that would make our founder and namesake, Tim Horton, proud."
Now in its seventh year, the "I Love the Red Wings" Donut has raised more than $300,000 for the Detroit Red Wings Foundation to support programs such as the Detroit Red Wings School Assembly Program. The School Assembly Program introduces nearly 50,000 students each year to the sport of hockey and educates on the importance of living a healthy, active lifestyle. This year, local Tim Hortons® restaurant owners have set a goal of raising more than $80,000 from "I Love the Red Wings" donut sales.
Tim Hortons® is the Official Coffee of the Detroit Red Wings and the Official Coffee served at Joe Louis Arena.
