Retailer Bob’s Discount Furniture recently presented a $60,000 check to Pajama Program as part of its Café Collections for a Cause initiative.
Genevieve Piturro, executive director of Pajama Program, accepted the donation during an event at Pajama Program’s headquarters in New York.
After the presentation, Cathy Poulin, the retailer’s director of public relations and outreach, dressed as the Cat in the Hat and read the classic children’s book to children from the Hour Children program, and gave them each their own book and hat to join in on the fun.
Pajama Program supports at-risk children by giving them new pajamas and an enchanting storybook. It operates numerous reading centers where volunteers share the art of reading by sharing a story with a child.
