Pajama Program Makes Second Donation to CASA Kids

Thanks to the Southern Colorado Chapter of the Pajama Program, CASA kids received a brand new pair of pajamas and a book to read at bedtime.  The Pajama Program made a second donation of books and pajamas to CASA in April. CASA was grateful to have been the recipient of the organization's first donation in the area last fall.

CASA celebrated the donation by throwing a Pajama Party for the kids on April 13. CASA volunteers and foster parents brought children of all ages to the party. The kids were excited to pick out a pair of pajamas and a book or toy of their choice, snack on cookies and punch, and spend a few hours enjoying some of the simple pleasures of childhood with other kids just like them.

The Southern Colorado Chapter of the Pajama Program was established by Collette Guida after she saw the national program featured on “The Oprah Winfrey Show.”  “I was so inspired by the idea I decided I had to be a part of it,” said Collette. Now in their second year of operation, the Southern Colorado Chapter has donated PJs to over 400 local children.

The Pajama Program identifies organizations that care for homeless or vulnerable children in various ways.  The program provides pajamas and books to help create a warm, nurturing environment to kids living under difficult circumstances.

To make a donation of new pajamas, new books, or to make a financial contribution, please call Collette Guida at 719-201-1497 or visit www.pajamaprogram.org.
