Fundraise at School

Engaging your school in a fundraising initiative serves as an excellent opportunity to instill the values of community service in children, fostering empathy and support for those less fortunate. There are many ways you can make an impact on the lives of children in foster care. 

If you need any support with your fundraising efforts, please reach out to us via donate@thepyjamafoundation.com
