The management
and employees of Zellers have made a real difference
in the lives of the thousands of Canadians who live with cystic
fibrosis. Zellers' relationship with the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis
Foundation began in 1985, when Dr. Claude Roy, Chairman of the
Foundation's Medical/Scientific Advisory Committee, asked if
small collection bubbles could be placed at the checkout counters
in Zellers' stores. The bubbles raised $80,000. But
the next year, when the President of Zellers was asked if the
Foundation could place collection bubbles in Zellers' stores
for a second year, he responded, "it's not enough"...
and Zellers' annual walkathon for CF was born. |

| CARSTAR
is Canada’s largest network of quality collision repair franchises.
For the second year in a row, CARSTAR has agreed to be the title
sponsor for the FrightLitesTM campaign. CARSTAR has chosen to support cystic fibrosis for two very special reasons. First, CARSTAR has friends and family affected by the disease and has seen the impact CF can have on the life of a child. Second, CARSTAR wants to be part of the team that helps find the cure for cystic fibrosis. Corporations interested in sponsoring FrightLitesTM, please your local K-W Cystic Fibrosis Chapter. |
