Charity fundraiser a chance for UWindsor students to shine

UWindsor students will continue a campus tradition of more than 50 years Saturday, October 21, when they participate in Shine Day — the annual campaign to raise funds for the fight against cystic fibrosis, a chronic and frequently fatal hereditary disease.

Student volunteers will meet at 9 a.m. for breakfast in Vanier Hall’s Katzman Lounge, then board buses for various points around the city, where they will wash cars and shine shoes. All funds raised will be donated to Cystic Fibrosis Canada to further research and find a cure.

Teams will station themselves outside three locations of Josephs Farm Market and will set up car washes at:

  • Jiffy Lube, 2573 Dougall Avenue
  • City Market, 1030 Walker Road
  • Cystic Fibrosis Canada, 3050 Jefferson Boulevard
