WATERDOWN, ON — For more than 18 years, Waterdown Collision has proudly stood behind the banner of Dante’s Journey to the Cure, raising funds and awareness for Cystic Fibrosis Canada. This commitment is deeply personal—Dante, a cherished member of the Waterdown Collision family, was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis as a young child. His diagnosis sparked a mission that has galvanized friends, family, and the broader community to come together and fight for a cure.

Since 2007, with the steadfast support of loyal customers, volunteers, and local businesses, Waterdown Collision has raised over $350,000 to fund life-changing research and care for those living with CF. Their efforts have included a wide range of events, from the Walk to Make Cystic Fibrosis History and charity car washes to more recently, the Seasonal Tire Swap Fundraiser—each driven by a determination to create a future where CF is a thing of the past.

This year’s Hamilton Walk to Make Cystic Fibrosis History 2025 was a shining example of this spirit. Held on Sunday May 25th, the event drew over 75 friends, family members, and Waterdown Collision teammates, all uniting under a shared purpose. Thanks to the incredible generosity of participants and supporters, the team didn’t just meet their $25,000 fundraising goal—they exceeded it, raising an astounding $32,245.

Special thanks go to everyone who contributed to Waterdown Collision’s seasonal fundraiser, as well as to the many local business partners whose generous support helped make this year’s event a resounding success.

This isn’t just a story of one day’s fundraising—it’s a reflection of Waterdown Collision’s unwavering commitment to a cause that hits close to home. Through Dante’s Journey to the Cure, they have transformed a personal diagnosis into a powerful force for change, proving that when a community comes together, hope becomes action.

Waterdown Collision extends heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has joined them on this journey. Together, they are driving change and bringing us all one step closer to a cure.
