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 the 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. They work with regional hospitals to provide pajamas throughout the year and give out over 60,000 pairs each year. Thank you for your kindness and generosity in helping this worthy cause. Students should turn the pajamas into their homeroom teacher. To make shopping easier, visit our Amazon wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2C7K23TXFN41J?ref_=wl_share
