#GirlsNightShopping with #CFFairview

Fairview

Shopping is always a blast – who doesn’t love scooping up a great deal? Or heading to the mall with your girlfriends for a day of dress-up and gossip? That’s why I was so excited to hear about CF Fairview’s great new event! Every Thursday night in April, CF Fairview will be throwing a Girls Night Shopping Event! They’re combining fashion, beauty, cuisine, and of course great company to bring you a night full of laughter, fun, and of course – pampering! This night is a great excuse to bring your friends and family together for an exclusive shopping event. Kelly Vieira, the General Manager of the CF Fairview Mall says “We’ve created an exclusive Lounge to thank our customers for their patronage while giving shoppers a place to relax and be pampered.”

They’ve set up an exclusive lounge on the top floor of the shopping centre, adjacent to Sears, which will be full of exclusive promotions and services courtesy participating fashion and beauty retailers, as well as libations. Customers who spend a minimum of $100 at select CF Fairview mall stores every Thursday evening in April from 5 to 9 will receive a custom reusable shopping bag granting exclusive access to the private lounge. There will be delicious food and beverages available, as well as fabulous beauty services. On display will be the latest in fashion and beauty trends. Over thirty different stores from the CF family will be participating, so there’s a little something for everyone! To pick up your bag, stop by one of the 36 participating retailers and spend a minimum of $100 on any items of your choice.

The bonus? There’s a charitable aspect to the night as well. If you fill and return the shopping bag with gently used clothing, you will receive a $10 CF SHOP! Card. All clothing  donations go to the incredible One More Wear Foundation. Make your way to the Girls Night Lounge or the Guest Services desk by Entrance 4 to donate your gently used clothing. Every time you return a bag you are eligible for a $10 CF SHOP! Gift card redeemable at any retailer in the complex.

One More Wear foundation is a great Toronto-based non-profit organization looks to improve the lives of GTA young and women. The foundation is youth-run, and provides young men and women across the GTA with clothing so they can look the sharpest for job interviews or when they’re out with their friends. They will be collecting donations all throughout Thursdays April in partnership with CF Fairview. They will be accepting men and women’s clothing including pants, dresses, shirts, sweaters, shoes, bags, and belts. By providing quality clothing to youth in need, The One More Wear Foundation is enhancing the opportunities available to them, delivering the confidence to pursue their life’s goals – academic, social, career-driven, and otherwise.

Weekly Girls Night shopping event and Lounge hosted every Thursday from 5:00 to 9:00 p.m. rewards shoppers while giving back to the community
