Shinerama logoShine Day, a fundraising campaign to fight cystic fibrosis, is set for Saturday, September 8.

Charity effort to end Welcome Week on a shining note

UWindsor students will continue a campus tradition of more than 50 years Saturday, September 8, 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 Vanier Hall’s Katzman Lounge, then set out for 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.

Find more information on the event Facebook page.

UWindsor Welcome Week continues today — Friday, September 7 — with a tour of the Campus Community Garden located at 380 California Avenue from 10 to 11 a.m., and a series of activities for science majors. Find a full list of UWindsor Welcome Week events on the program website.
