National Pyjama Day is day is all about wearing your favourite pair of PJ’s to help raise much-needed awareness and funds for children in foster care. Our goal is to raise $400,000 for our Love of Learning Program.
The official day was in July, but you can host a Pyjama Day any time throughout August or September. So put on your favourite PJ’s, make a donation, and get your friends/colleagues involved! Register now to receive a FREE host kit.
At The Pyjama Foundation, we provide children in foster care the opportunity to change the direction of their lives with learning, life skills and confidence. Through the Love of Learning program, volunteers called ‘Pyjama Angels’ are recruited, screened, trained and then matched with a child in care and spend time with them once a week, focusing on learning-based activities. Pyjama Angels read books aloud with their child, play educational games and help children with their homework. Most importantly, the volunteers give foster children a chance to reach their life potential, despite a fragile start. Children in care have the lowest education outcomes nationally. By improving their learning skills, The Pyjama Foundation is making a positive, life-long impact.
This online raffle is filled with amazing prizes in categories fit for everyone! With the help of some very generous Australian small businesses, our raffle categories include fashion, accessories and beauty, family, for him, wellness, gifts, home, and Brisbane locals.
If purchasing more than one raffle ticket, you have the option to choose up to 3 categories you would like to enter, or you can simply choose to win from any. Join us in raising funds for the Love of Learning Program so we can continue to support children in care who are in need.
