The Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CCFF) and CARSTAR Collision Repair Centres are teaming up to not only help make Halloween safer, but support the fight against cystic fibrosis.
FrightLites glow sticks help make children more visible on the street by brightening up their Halloween costume.
With every purchase of a glow stick, money will be raised to support Canadians battling cystic fibrosis.
The glow sticks are available at CARSTAR Collision Repair Centres across Canada and various CCFF chapters and fundraising events during the month of October.
The six-inch, non-toxic glow sticks come in five fun colours and cost $3 each.
