Tim Hortons Sparks Community Spirit, Launches Fireworks Fundraiser for Dunnville’s Mudcat Festival

DUNNVILLE, ON – The skies over Dunnville are one step closer to lighting up once again, thanks to a generous push from Tim Hortons. The local business has officially launched the Fireworks Fundraiser for the Mudcat Festival, becoming the first to answer the community’s call to help keep this cherished tradition alive.

A fundraising thermometer is now live on DunnvilleChamber.com, where donations will be tracked as momentum builds. This comes at a time when the town is already deeply engaged in supporting the Dunnville Hospital and Healthcare Foundation (DHHF) as they fundraise for a new mammography unit through the popular Smile Cookie campaign.

Despite the immense effort being poured into that critical healthcare initiative, Tim Hortons has shown that community care isn’t an either/or—it’s all in.

“At Tim Hortons, giving back is part of who we are, and Dunnville has always shown up for each other when it counts. We’re proud to help launch the Fireworks Fundraiser and keep the Mudcat Festival’s traditions alive. It’s our way of saying thank you to a community that never stops caring,” said Robert and Cathy Noble, Owners of Tim Hortons Dunnville.

Angela Brooks, Marketing & Communications for the Dunnville Chamber of Commerce, adds: “Even in the middle of a major healthcare fundraiser, Cathy and the Tim Hortons team didn’t hesitate. Their support launched this campaign, and we’re beyond grateful. That kind of heart is exactly what makes Dunnville such a special place.”

The Mudcat Festival is one of Ontario’s longest-running community celebrations, drawing thousands each year with its vibrant mix of live music, parades, competitions, and fireworks. The fireworks show, in particular, has become a symbol of the town’s unity and spirit.
