The community has been urged to get involved in Gippsland’s Biggest PJ Day this Friday to raise money for A Better Life For Foster Kids.
The event aims to bring together the Gippsland community in a fun and impactful way, all while raising crucial funds to support children and young people in foster and kinship care.
The funds raised through Gippsland’s Biggest PJ Day will go directly to A Better Life For Foster Kids, an organisation dedicated to improving the lives of children and young people in foster care. The support will help provide essential resources for children and young people, and their carers.
A Better Life For Foster Kids is grateful for all the schools and kinders who have been part of Gippsland’s Biggest PJ Day over the past two years. In 2023, 37 schools were involved across Gippsland, in which nearly 7000 children enjoyed a fun day in their pyjamas and gained awareness of the challenges faced by kids in out-of-home care.
In 2024, the organisation hopes to make the day even bigger, and encouraged local businesses and organisations to get involved and have a fun PJ day.
Founder Heather Baird said the event was more than just a fundraiser.
“It’s an opportunity for our community to connect and support an organisation that makes a real difference in the lives of children in out-of-home care,” she said.
“We invite everyone to join us for a day of fun and giving back.”
