Shinerama has been a University of New Brunswick tradition since 1973. For the last 42 years, students at UNB have raised money to support Cystic Fibrosis Research in Canada. Shiners have raised nearly $25 million by shining shoes, flipping burgers, washing cars and doing whatever it takes to raise crucial funding to fight cystic fibrosis. Shinerama is now Canada’s largest post-secondary school fundraiser with over 35,000 students in over 60 university and college campuses taking part across the country. Last year we collectively raised over one million dollars.
