Every day, children fighting cancer spend long stretches in the hospital, often living in their pajamas as they go through treatment. For them, pajamas become more than sleepwear — they’re a symbol of strength, resilience, and courage.
Save the date: National Pajama Day is April 16!
In honor of this battle, we invite you to Go PJammin® with us for National Pajama Day on April 16, 2026! By wearing your pajamas, making a donation, and spreading the word, you are helping to raise crucial funds for childhood cancer and show kids in treatment that they are not alone in their fight.
Together, we can turn a simple pair of pajamas into a powerful symbol of support.

PJammin® Party Ideas
1.PJammin® Fashion Show: With a donation to ACCO, let everyone show off their coziest, funniest, or most creative pajamas with a mini fashion show. Participants can walk the “runway” while others cheer them on. Consider fun categories like Coziest PJs, Funniest PJs, or Best Matching Group. Encourage lots of laughter and creativity—the goal is to celebrate comfort while raising awareness for kids with cancer.
2. PJammin® Photo Booth: Set up a simple photo booth with fun pajama-themed props like pillows, sleep masks, teddy bears, or moon-and-star decorations. Encourage participants to snap photos with friends and share their cozy looks. Photos can also be shared on social media to spread awareness about childhood cancer.
3. Cozy Coloring Pages: Allow everyone to unwind and unleash some creativity with a few coloring pages, or the opportunity to draw freehand. Remember: the goal is to have fun with it! Encourage pages and drawings to be exchanged or given to someone else as a thoughtful gesture. (There is a special PJ themed coloring page at the bottom of this link!)
4. Desk-to-Desk Coffee & Snack Cart: Bring the cozy vibes to everyone with a traveling hot chocolate or coffee cart (with snacks!) that visits each desk or department. Offer simple toppings like marshmallows, whipped cream, or cinnamon, and include a small sign sharing why you’re PJammin for kids with cancer. It’s an easy, low-disruption way to engage the whole workplace while creating a warm, shared moment. Each item is nominally charged and supports ACCO’s mission.
5. Bead Bracelets: Put on ACCO’s Cozy National Pajama Day Playlist and make something for someone you care about, or to keep for yourself and enjoy. Encourage bracelets made with favorite colors and fun patterns. Promote really focusing on the task at hand – it’ll feel great once it’s complete!
