The following was posted on the official blog of the Bishop’s University student government:

Rest assured that here at Bishop’s, we’ll continue supporting Shinerama during Frosh Week. The fight against cystic fibrosis is an important one, and we’ve been involved for years. While we may not have raised the millions Carleton has, we’ve been consistent contributors, combatting a disease that affects Canadians from all walks of life. We’ll continue to support this worthy cause, and look for new avenues to fundraise for cystic fibrosis, doing our small part to make up for the funds that will be missing in 2009, due to Carleton’s withdrawal.

Well said, I know I’ll be digging deeper into my pockets to support this cause next year.
