Shinerama is Canada’s largest post-secondary fundraiser, involving students at approximately 60 university and college campuses across Canada, annually.  What began in 1964 as a shoe-shining campaign has since grown to include a wide variety of community and campus based events under the Shinerama banner

              In fact, thanks to more than 35,000 enthusiastic student volunteers 
              across Canada, Shinerama 2008 had an amazing raising $940,000 
                                          for CCFF-funded research and care. 
                                                 Thank you Shiners

In the last four decades, with more than $19 million raised by Shinerama volunteers, there has been great progress in the search for a cure.  In fact when Shinerama first began, most children with cystic fibrosis did not live long enough to attend kindergarten; today half of all Canadians with CF are expected to live into their late 30s, and even beyond.
