PJs with a Purpose

Hold a PJ Day at your school for WCK!

PJs with a Purpose is a fundraiser for schools that want to raise the funds (and the fun) to help B.C. kids and families affected by childhood cancer and blood disorders.

About PJs with a Purpose

Why PJs are meaningful for kids with cancer

PJs_Feb2023

When kids are going through cancer or blood disorder treatment, they spend a lot of time in their pajamas.

Kids need to be as comfortable as they can and get lots of rest, so whether they're in the hospital or getting treatment at home, a lot of their days are spent in their PJs. 

PJs with a Purpose is a way to honour their experience while raising funds for the practical, daily support that WCK offers to kids and their families.

 

What your school can do

Your school can raise money to support WCK programs by hosting a PJ Day with a Purpose.

It’s simple. Pick a date, ask students to wear their favourite PJs and bring a toonie to donate. That's it!

When your PJ day is over you can donate the funds directly to WCK through the donation form below.

WCK staff are here to support every step of the way, and we've put together a full suite of materials with posters and information that you can download to help you get the word out.
