She will be located across the Second Cup in the PATH concourse for the centre.

With every donation of $5, $10 and $20, donors are eligible for different types of gift bags with various beauty products enclosed – 100% of all proceeds will go the Breast Cancer Society Of Canada, funding life-saving breast cancer research.
