Comfy for a cause

THE Kilcoy Indoor Sports Centre has embraced comfort for a cause, raising nearly $500 for children in foster care through an early celebration of National Pyjama Day.

On Friday, July 18, local gymgoers swapped workout gear for pyjamas during the morning fitness class, followed by a small morning tea to mark the occasion. The event brought light-hearted fun to a serious cause and encouraged members to support a vital national initiative.

Although National Pyjama Day officially fell on July 25, the Kilcoy team chose to host their event a week early, joining thousands across the country taking part in the Pyjama Foundation’s annual fundraiser.

The Pyjama Foundation provides learning-based mentoring programs for Australian children in foster care. The funds raised help support volunteer ‘Pyjama Angels’ who work one-on-one with children to improve literacy, numeracy, and life skills.

With more than 45,000 children currently in care across the country, community-led fundraisers like Kilcoy’s pyjama workout play a critical role in helping break the cycle of disadvantage.
