On PJammin Day, students and staff will come together in a fun and meaningful way—by wearing their coziest pajamas to school! Each participant donates just $1 (or more!) for the chance to wear PJs for the day, helping raise critical funds for children battling cancer.

Why pajamas? Because kids fighting cancer often spend long days—and sometimes weeks—in their pajamas while undergoing treatment. Wearing PJs in solidarity is a simple, powerful reminder that even small acts can make a big difference for kids who can’t simply change out of their “hospital clothes.”

Every dollar raised helps support programs, research, and free resources for children and families facing childhood cancer. Together, we can bring comfort, awareness, and hope—one pair of pajamas at a time.

The American Childhood Cancer Organization (ACCO) is a national nonprofit dedicated to securing federal, state, corporate, and private funding for childhood cancer research, while also serving as the largest provider of free educational support materials for children with cancer and their families in the U.S.

For more than fifty years, the American Childhood Cancer Organization (ACCO) has worked diligently to make childhood cancer a national child health priority. During this time, childhood cancer rates have risen, and cancer remains the number one cause of disease-related death among children in the U.S. Despite advances in adult cancer treatments, most children still endure harsh therapies including chemotherapy, radiation, and invasive surgeries, with little change in protocols over the past three decades. These treatments, given during critical developmental stages, lead to lasting effects such as secondary cancers, brain damage, heart disease, learning disabilities, and infertility. As the oldest national nonprofit founded by and for families affected by childhood cancer, ACCO is uniquely positioned to advocate for these children and their families, addressing the urgent need for research and informational support.
