    New Pajamas Needed!
    We are partnering this month with NewThing on a pajama drive, supporting Casey Cares. Casey Cares is a non-profit organization that enhances the lives of critically ill children and their families by providing opportunities for family fun and engagement outside of doctor appointments and hospital stays.
     
    One of the major needs for Casey Cares is donations of New Pajamas for infants through young adult sizes. They provide fun pajamas to children on their birthdays, in the hospital and during in-home treatments to cheer them on. They work with regional hospitals to provide pajamas throughout the year and give out over 60,000 pairs each year. Direct purchases for pajamas can be made via this Amazon list, which will run through Friday, March 20th.
