Shine Season is back — and it’s your chance to make an impact.

This summer, join CARSTAR locations across Canada in raising critical funds for cystic fibrosis through Shine Season, the company’s annual fundraising campaign running from June to September.

For over 26 years, CARSTAR has proudly supported Cystic Fibrosis Canada, raising more than $6 million through national initiatives like Soaps It Up - their long-running car wash fundraiser that first began after the granddaughter of a franchise partner was diagnosed with CF.

What started as a personal cause has grown into a powerful movement. Today, Shine Season continues to bring communities together with events that turn into life-changing support for people living with cystic fibrosis.
