CARSTAR Automotive Canada has been a dedicated supporter of the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation for several years, after it was discovered that the granddaughter of a CARSTAR franchisee was diagnosed with the disease.

Cystic fibrosis is a common, fatal genetic disease affecting young Canadians, attacking the lungs and the digestive system. To date, CARSTAR has raised over $1.8 million to help find a cure for CF.

"Cystic fibrosis research and care in Canada are cutting-edge, and great progress is being made in this country in the fight against the disease, thanks, in part, to the hard work and dedication of national partners like CARSTAR." - Cathleen Morrison, CEO of Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

CARSTAR also hosts the CARSTAR "Soaps It Up" Car Wash for Cystic Fibrosis every June. All proceeds from the "Soaps it Up" Car Wash go to the local CCFF chapters and other charitable organizations in the community.
