The event was created after the passing of Devine in Sept. 2021. It was created to honour his memory and love of cars and support mental health initiatives in the community.

Organized by Devine’s mother and brother, Liz Jeffries-Bradley and Chase Devine, the event brought car and motorcycle enthusiasts from as far as Barrie and Trenton to showcase their vehicles and support the initiative.

This year had a record number of participants and spectators. It featured a display of classic cars, vintage vehicles and custom rides.

The proceeds help develop mental health promotional tools and resources and CMHA's mental health crisis response services. As a result, CMHA can expand its reach and enhance its programs, ensuring that those struggling with mental health challenges receive the support they deserve according to a press release.

“We are incredibly grateful to everyone who participated in the 2023 Show and Shine for Spencer Devine event and contributed to this remarkable fundraising effort," said Jack Veitch, manager of community engagement and education. "It’s incredible to see all the hard work that was done to make this event happen and is a testament to the generosity and compassion of our community.”
