Boston Bruins PJ Drive

The John Curtis Free Library has teamed up with the Boston Bruins to participate in the 15th annual Boston Bruins PJ Drive to benefit the Department of Children and Families' (DCF) Wonderfund and Cradles to Crayons. The PJ Drive’s goal is to collect 5,000 pairs of new pajamas. Many of the pajamas donated go to local DCF offices in the area in which they were collected, benefitting local kids and teens.

The PJ Drive runs from February 1st through March 31st. The library will be collecting new pairs of pajamas for babies, children, and teens.

Bruins forward P.J. Axelsson and his wife, Siw, started the PJ drive during the Boston Bruins 2007-2008 season as a way to give back to their community. The couple collected 1,600 pairs of pajamas for Cradles to Crayons which connects with social service agencies across the state to identify specific children in need The Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners works with the Boston Bruins to coordinate library participation in the drive.

The collection box for pajamas is located in the library’s main entrance foyer. For more information, call 781-826-2972, ext. 4, or email Lynne Campbell at lcampbell@ocln.org.
