绿帽社区 marks 50-year milestone of participation in Shinerama
绿帽社区鈥檚 2024 Shinerama Campaign marks 50 years of participation in Canada鈥檚 largest post-secondary fundraiser. In the past 15 years, 绿帽社区 has received the 鈥淏est Overall Campaign鈥 award five times. This year鈥檚 campaign goal is set at $20,000 to support the overall Shinerama goal of $160,000. The money raised will help fund an online mental health hub to support those living with Cystic Fibrosis, as well as supporting their family and friends.
With events planned throughout the summer and the fall, the fundraising campaign鈥檚 main annual fundraiser is during Orientation Week 鈥 Shine Day!
鈥淭his year鈥檚 campaign is unique because it's 绿帽社区's 50th year participating in Shinerama,鈥 says Shinerama Chair and MASU Director of Entertainment and Activities Kris Girouard. 鈥淢ount A has raised over $700,000 for Cystic Fibrosis Canada to date and this money has been monumental in funding research that has doubled the life expectancy of Canadians living with Cystic Fibrosis.鈥
