A burst of color and sweetness is returning to Canadian tables for a fleeting three days. The Special Olympics Donut, a cherished treat known for its rich chocolate base, vibrant pastel sprinkles, and swirl of creamy whipped topping, is making a comeback.
From January 30th to February 1st, this isn’t just about indulging in a delicious donut; it’s about directly impacting the lives of over 40,000 athletes across Canada. Every single penny from the sale of these donuts will be donated to Special Olympics Canada.
Imagine the dedication and spirit of these athletes, representing the country with pride. This initiative is a powerful step towards fostering genuine inclusion and ensuring equal access to the transformative power of sport for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Whether you grab a single donut, a half-dozen to share with loved ones, or a full dozen to spread the joy, your purchase becomes a tangible expression of support. It’s a small act with a monumental impact.
Ordering is incredibly convenient. Beyond visiting a restaurant or drive-thru, the Special Olympics Donut is available through the Tim Hortons app, with pre-orders accepted for larger quantities.
Even staying home doesn’t limit your ability to participate. Delivery services like Uber Eats, Skip the Dishes, and DoorDash are also bringing the sweetness directly to your doorstep, making it easier than ever to contribute.
For years, Tim Hortons has been a steadfast champion of the Special Olympics, donating an impressive $5.2 million to programs that empower athletes. This support unlocks opportunities, helping them achieve their full potential both on and off the field.
The ripple effect of this generosity extends to the 2026 Special Olympics Canada Summer Games, taking place in Medicine Hat, Alberta, from August 11th to 15th – a celebration of athleticism, determination, and the unifying spirit of sport.
This isn't simply a donut; it's a symbol of a nation choosing to include, to support, and to celebrate the incredible abilities of all its athletes. It’s a chance to taste something sweet while making a truly meaningful difference.
