Canadian Tire Brantford’s Toffifee fundraiser, a unique initiative supporting the SC Johnson Departments of Medical Imaging and Cardiac Diagnostics at Brant Community Healthcare System (BCHS), has achieved remarkable success.

From November 2024 to late January 2025, boxes of Toffifee chocolate were sold at Canadian Tire Brantford, with $2 from each sale going directly to the BCHS Foundation. With an ambitious goal to sell 20,000 boxes, we are thrilled to announce that the campaign raised $31,474 for the Diagnostic Imaging (DI) Department. These funds will play a crucial role in the purchasing of essential Diagnostic Imaging equipment.

“We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who has shown their continued awareness and support of our growing community and its healthcare needs”, said Dr. Lee Ferrao, Chair of BCHS Foundation Board. “It is truly an honour and privilege to work alongside our dedicated community partners to achieve our mutual goals and ensure better healthcare for all. The success of the Toffifee chocolate fundraiser has been a wonderful demonstration of the power of collaboration, and we are incredibly grateful for the generosity of those who contributed to this cause. Thank you to Canadian Tire and our community for their support and generosity.”

The Toffifee chocolate fundraiser’s success is a testament to the kindness and generosity of our community. We want to extend our sincere gratitude to Canadian Tire Brantford for their partnership and commitment to local healthcare. We also want to thank all of the individuals and families who purchased Toffifee chocolates. Together, we are building a stronger, healthier future for Brantford.
