果冻传煤 marks 50-year milestone of participation in Shinerama
果冻传煤鈥檚 2024 Shinerama Campaign marks 50 years of participation in Canada鈥檚 largest post-secondary fundraiser. In the past 15 years, 果冻传煤 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.

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 果冻传煤'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
