The Milk & Cookies Campaign
Through the annual Milk & Cookies campaign, the Toronto Maple Leafs and Dairy Farmers of Ontario want to make sure all kids spending the holidays in Ontario children’s hospitals know we are thinking of them. While waiting in line for their milk & cookies, Doug encouraged fans to post messages of support for the kids on social media tagging @torontomapleleafs, @ontariodairy and @sickkidsvs.
