Access Communications Co-operative (Access), the Collectors Car Club of Saskatchewan, and presenting sponsor CAA Saskatchewan are excited to announce the 17th Annual Access Communications Labour Day Show N Shine (Show N Shine) raised $51,805 in support of the Regina Food Bank. This is a new record for funds raised at a single show. Labour Day Show N Shine has raised over $370,000 to fight food insecurity in Regina since it began in 2006.
"I want to thank our presenting sponsor, CAA Saskatchewan, our media sponsor, Harvard Media, all our other sponsors, and our partner since day one, the Collectors Car Club of Saskatchewan, for their generous support in making this year's show a record-breaking success," said Carmela Haines, President and CEO of Access. "To the almost 500 exhibitors, every visitor who came out to take the show in, and our legion of volunteers thank you so much. Together, we helped the Food Bank fight food insecurity in our community."
The Labour Day Show N Shine was held on Monday, Sept. 2, at the Access Communications Community Park. It featured almost 500 vintage and modern automobiles and motorcycles. Over 5,000 people took in in the annual show.
The event brings together the community, businesses, and automobile enthusiasts to appreciate collectible vehicles and raise money for the Regina Food Bank.
"The Regina Food Bank is incredibly grateful for the continued support from the Access Communications Labour Day Show N Shine event. This year's contribution of $51,805 will make a significant impact in our fight against food insecurity in Regina. After passing 1 million meals in 2023, this puts us well on the road to the next million meals. We're thankful for the generosity of Access Communications, the Collectors Car Club of Saskatchewan, CAA Saskatchewan, and all the participants who make this possible year after year," said John Bailey, CEO of the Regina Food Bank.
Show N Shine has been privileged to have CAA Saskatchewan as its presenting sponsor for nine years.
"Since 2015, CAA has been a proud sponsor of this fantastic community event that showcased the best collection of automobiles and motorcycles, all in support of the Regina Food Bank, "noted Fred Titanich, President and CEO, CAA Saskatchewan. "As the presenting sponsor, we were pleased to be onsite with the very popular CAA Family Fun Zone that featured hourly prize draws and face painting for the kids plus family fun swag bags. To help keep everyone hydrated, our volunteer staff served complimentary Culligan of Regina water in CAA reusable water bottles."
