PJ Day for the Kids

With the holiday season upon us, it feels like the perfect time to make you all aware of a very special fundraiser that the library staff will be participating in alongside McAlister Intermediate School this December. This fundraiser is PJ Day for the Kids, which is held yearly on the second Friday in December and benefits the Connecticut Children’s Center for Cancer & Blood Disorders.

This state legislature- recognized day of awareness has gained widespread participation over the years, with schools, businesses, and individuals all coming together to show their solidarity with children facing serious medical challenges. It is a fun and festive occasion that encourages everyone to wear their favorite pajamas to school, work, or home, while supporting the hospital’s mission to provide exceptional care for their young patients.

As the library and local schools rally around this initiative, PJ Day for the Kids becomes more than simply a fundraiser—it’s an opportunity for us to foster compassion and connection, especially as the holidays draw near. Whether we’re sporting festive holiday pajamas or a favorite pair of cozy flannels, participating in this feel-good event is a perfect way for the library’s staff to give back during the season of giving.

We encourage everyone to join us in supporting this fantastic initiative by wearing your favorite pajamas to the library on December 12 —we would love to see your support (and your silliest pajamas)! Through this simple act of kindness, PJ Day for the Kids helps make the holidays a little brighter for children who need it the most.
