cold for a cause - jammies in june

​

Every winter, thousands of children go to sleep each night without warm pyjamas to combat the cold and preventable illnesses.

​

This year for Jammies in June we're asking you to get fundraising and go Cold for the Cause.

​

Cold for the Cause is a fundraising challenge to build awareness and raise funds to help keep our most vulnerable children warm and healthy through the cold winter months ahead.

 

Cold for the Cause challenges you to spend two cold nights without your warm winter pyjamas or heating to gain a small insight into how children under the poverty line live and to raise urgent funds to give jammies to our tamariki in need.

​

FAQS

What size pyjamas do you need?

We need pyjamas for children aged between 0 to 18 years. Adult size pyjamas are also useful for children in their late teens.



Do you accept pre-loved pyjamas?

Yes but we ask they be free from stains and tears. The pre-loved pyjamas are distributed to families in the community who are in need.



What do I do after I finish collecting pyjamas?

You can drop the pyjamas off to our office located in the Colvin Complex at Middlemore Hospital. Please contact us to arrange a delivery. You are able to post them to Middlemore Foundation c/o Middlemore Hospital, 100 Hospital Road, Otahuhu, Auckland 2025. You can also drop them off at a pyjama collection point near you. However, we ask that you please follow hygiene procedures to ensure everyone is as safe as possible. As we are a very small team and in our peak season of pyjama deliveries, we are busy distributing the pyjamas to many children in need. Unfortunately, we are unable to collect pyjamas from your organisation.



Can we drop off our pyjamas at Kidz First and get social media and company newsletter pictures?

For privacy reasons we do not allow donations to be dropped off to the wards at Kidz First. Under alert level one and two, you are welcome to drop off pyjamas to our office located in the Colvin Complex at Middlemore Hospital. Please read our guidelines and contact us to arrange a delivery.



Do I get a receipt upon making a donation?

If you are making donations, a receipt acknowledging your donation with thanks will be emailed or mailed to you. Please be sure to add your email or postal address when making the donation.



What happens with the money?

100% of money donated to Jammies in June is used to purchase pyjamas, blankets, slippers and socks to accommodate all ages and sizes for both boys and girls.



What is the target for 2021?

This year we are aiming to distribute 25,000 pairs of pyjamas in to the community. We accept monetary donations so if you would like to opt for this option, we will use the funds to purchase bulk lots of pyjamas and warm items of clothing. You can also buy pyjamas from store and send them in to us.
If you are in a position to donate it would be greatly appreciated.
A big thank you to everyone who has donated in the past and those who are donating this year, especially during this uncertain time.
