It's that time of year again when we come together to make a difference in the lives of critically ill children! Casey Cares is proud to announce the start of our 9th Annual #CaseyCaresBiggestPajamaParty! Throughout March and April, we will be collecting pajamas to bring comfort and joy to children in hospitals and those recovering at home.
This year, we are hoping to reach our goal of 17,000 new pajamas donated through the party. Thanks to your generosity, we sent out over 25,000 pajamas last year to children in hospitals and those recovering at home!
You can get your school, company, place of worship, club, or sports team to participate in the pj drive and show your support for critically ill children today! Email Jammies@CaseyCaresfoundation.org to participate or visit our Biggest PJ Party page for more information! Don't forget to get your own pajamas for Wear Your Pajamas to Work Day on April 16th!
This year, we were lucky to have St. Margaret School and St. Mary’s Elementary School kick off the pajama collecting for Catholic School Week!
St. Margaret School in Bel Air, Maryland has a “wear your pajamas to school day” and have tied it in with collecting pajamas under the banner, “Casey Cares, and so do we!” Since 2015, they have collected hundreds of pjs each year, closing in on an incredible donation of almost 3,000 pajamas to date. Similarly, St. Mary's Elementary School in Annapolis participated for the fifth time this year, collecting over 200 pairs across 30 homerooms.
We can’t say thank you enough to everyone who has participated in helping us collect pajamas so far, and to those who plan on getting involved!
The impact of sending these pajamas to sick children cannot be overstated. It provides them with the extra comfort and joy they need, particularly during their frequent visits and overnight stays at hospitals. Giving them something cozy to wear instead of a hospital gown continues to raise their spirits in a super special way!
You can help us spread the word! Email the details to a neighboring school and challenge them to a collection contest or enlist your family and neighborhood to gost a pajama drive. We need all the assistance we can get to fulfill the requests of our families and hospitals all along the East Coast and parts of the Midwest!
