Impact

Funds raised through CARSTAR initiatives help
drive progress at every stage of life with CF. 

Research 

Advancing better treatments
and longer, healthier lives. 

Care 

Supporting CF clinics and specialized
care teams across Canada.

Advocacy 

Improving access to
life-changing therapies.

Quality of Life 

Funding programs that help
people with CF live more fully.

Because of sustained community support, life expectancy for Canadians born with CF has nearly doubled over the past 25 years, progress made possible
through partnerships like CARSTAR’s. 

A Partnership Built on Purpose 


The CARSTAR–Cystic Fibrosis Canada partnership began in 1997, when a CARSTAR franchise owner’s granddaughter was diagnosed with CF. That personal connection sparked what has become one of CF Canada’s longest-standing corporate partnerships. 


CARSTAR franchise partners across Canada lead fundraising through: 


  • Annual Shine Season campaigns 
  • Golf tournaments and community events 
  • National conference fundraisers 
  • Local, store-led initiatives 


Each effort reflects CARSTAR’s commitment to driving impact beyond the repair shop.
