Shinerama Memories - Mount Allison University

We asked you to send us your super shiny memories! 

We want to hear from you! Send your favourite, cherished, hilarious, or just plain awesome memories of your Shinerama experiences to shinerama@cysticfibrosis.ca.

This Shinerama Memory comes to us from Elyse Thibeault of Mount Allison University.

My friend Sydney and I were site leaders on Shine Day last September, and I think this story proves the devotion Mount Allison University students have towards Shinerama!

Mount Allison University heats up with Summer Shinerama Activities

The MTA crew all finished a successful bottle drive!

MTA Shinerama has had a busy month of June and we wanted to share some of their exciting activities with everyone. The Shine Squad, their summer committee, kicked off with a successful bottle drive and a pub crawl. Shiners have been busy doing lots of grocery bagging and online fundraising with 4 teams already on the board!!

The second week of June was also the start of their "Shiner of the Week" contest.  MTA students or alumni from near and far can fundraise individually and enter the contest to win the title plus a prize valued at approximately $100.00!

Here’s their most recent event – a flash mob hip-shake at the local Moncton Market!

Shiney Update from Sackville - Mount Allison University

Sackville is continuing to be the Busiest City in the Maritimes! We’ve had two very successful events in the past couple of weeks! First, on July 29th we held a Garden Party and Silent Auction at Cranewood, which is the President of the University’s home. We held a BBQ in the backyard where people played croquet and bocce ball. Inside we had a silent auction, deserts and some lovely music performed by Sara-Beth Harrison. The biggest item up for grabs was the quilted MTA/Shinerama pillow that created quite the bidding war! Not only was it a great night, we ended up raising almost $850.00 for Shinerama!

 

Last weekend we held our First Ever Shinerama Cake Walk. Because there aren’t too many people in Sackville during the year, let alone the summer, we weren’t sure how a cake walk would go over… It went great though! We had about 12 cakes donated, 30-40 people show up and we raised almost $250.00! Some people were really lucky - with some people winning 2 or 3 cakes!

All in all it was a great event and almost everyone went home happy!!

Right now we’re planning a Beer Pong Tournament, some publicity events and Shine Day!!! Good Luck to everyone in the next month!

Mount Allison University Update

Here’s an update from Mount Allison University all the way from Beautiful Sackville New Brunswick!

We’ve held a few events so far to try to reach our goal of $20,000! First we had our “Shinerama Summer Semi” at the Pub. Despite the torrential downpour we still had a great turnout and raised about $600 for Shinerama! Our second Pub Night, the “Shinerama Beach Bash” raised us $800!

We also had a Canada BBQ that helped us push our total to $2,739.37 so far!

We have a few other events already planned, such as a Bottle Drive on July 10th, Tequila Wave on July 10th and a Garden Party/Silent Auction on July 29th! It’s shaping up to be an exciting summer!

I hope everyone’s enjoying the summer! Good Luck with your campaigns!
