Calgary, Alberta — November 23, 2017 — It’s the season for giving, and CARSTAR’s collision repairers in Calgary have pulled together to raise $10,000 for Cycstic Fibrosis Canada. The bodyshops joined the Canadian Football League’s Calgary Stampeders to support the local community through its ‘Catch for a Cure’ campaign.
CARSTAR’s locations donated $25 to Cystic Fibrosis Canada for each offensive catch made by the Calgary Stampeders throughout the season.
“We have a great partner in the Calgary Stampeders and Calgary sports and Entertainment to benefit the communities where our Calgary locations do business,” said Michael Macaluso, president, CARSTAR North America. “Through our ongoing Skate in Strides for Cystic Fibrosis, the ‘Catch for the Cure’ program, participation in the CARSTAR Walk for Cystic Fibrosis and other initiatives we can truly benefit the entire region.”
CARSTAR has partnership agreements with a variety of NHL and CFL teams across Canada, but the agreement with Calgary Sports and Entertainment is unique in that the organization represents several properties across various sports. These include The Calgary Stampeders, Flames, Hitmen (WHL) and Roughnecks (NLL).
Donations to Cycstic Fibrosis Canada can be made on its website at cysticfibrosis.ca.
