To launch this year's initiative, on December 8, Janeway Children's Health & Rehabilitation Centre Patient Ambassador, Carter Penney, will be at the TD Canada Trust Bank Branch in TD Place on Water Street to break a large piggy bank and encourage Newfoundlanders to donate on December 9^th and throughout the year.
