Tim Horton’s has launched DIY Mother’s Day Donut Kits at participating restaurants across Canada.

Each kit contains six plain doughnuts, one container of chocolate buttercream icing, one container of vanilla buttercream icing, one container of colour confetti sprinkles, and one container of chocolate chips. Kits cost $9.99 each.

Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Tom Brady, and Peyton Manning are golfing together to raise money for coronavirus-related causes, including Direct Relief, the American Red Cross, Save Small Business, and the All-In Challenge.

It’s called The Match: Champions for Charity, and it’ll be simulcast on TNT, TBS, truTV, and HLN on Sunday, May 24th at 3:00 P.M.

Tiger and Peyton will go up against Phil and Tom and the competition will include: A Best Ball format on the Front Nine, and a Modified Alternate Shot format on the Back Nine. That’s where everyone tees off, but then plays alternate shots from the selected drive.

There will be several on-course challenges, and the golfers will be mic’d up.

The golfers have said they will donate $10 million to Covid-19 relief.

Brady vs. Manning. An all-time matchup.
