Annual Charity CARSTAR Casino Night Gala

CARSTAR Automotive Canada Inc. kicked-off its ‘Sweet 15th Anniversary Celebration’ with its annual charity CARSTAR Casino Night Gala on Nov. 20, 2009. Held at Carmen’s in Hamilton, Ont., the gala raised funds for the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CCFF). More than 700 insurance and vendor partners, employees and friends attended. Hamilton Tiger Cats kicker Nick Setta played host for the evening, which was themed ‘La Dolce Vita -The Sweet Life.’ Canadian musician Suzie McNeil added a live performance to the mix. McNeil played several of her hits, including ‘Believe’ which was chosen as the theme for the 2010 Winter Olympics. CARSTAR president and CEO Sam Mercanti presented a cheque to the CCFF worth more than $100,000, raised through CARSTAR’s 2009 fundraising efforts. To date, CARSTAR has raised more than $1.7 million to fund research and treatment in the fight against CF.
