Drop off new pajama donations at libraries across the North Shore as part of the Boston Bruins PJ Drive

Join Sawyer Free Library, the Boston Bruins and Cradles to Crayons in their goal to collect new pajamas for kids in need! The Boston Bruins will be hosting their 13th Annual PJ Drive from February 1 - March 15. The drive will benefit Cradles for Crayons and DCF Wonderfund, two non-profits that ensure positive living conditions for children.

Fans are encouraged to help by donating PJs. Donors can register their own organizations at one of these sites:

  • Cradles to Crayons HERE.
  • Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners HERE.
