Cold Rock Clayfield will be hosting a “Onesie Party” on Friday, 21st of July, in keeping with the celebration of “National Pyjama Day”. Everyone is invited to wear their favourite onesie and enjoy regular ice creams for only $2.
Onesie Party for a Cause
The sales of the $2 regular ice creams will be donated to The Pyjama Foundation. Ms. Bronwyn Sheehan founded the foundation to give children in foster care the opportunity to increase their learning and educational outcomes through “Love of Learning Program”.
Majority of children in foster care are not able to complete 12 years of school and are below average in reading. They also have poor health conditions and inadequate attachments.
According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, there are:
- 92% of children in care that are below average in reading level at age 7;
- 75% of children in care that do not complete 12 years of school; and
- 35% of children in care that are entering the juvenile system.
The volunteers “Pyjama Angels” are meeting children every week for 1.5 hours to read books, play educational games, and other activities involving learning, reading, and mentoring. This does not just improve their educational needs, but also foster the care and attention they need as children.
Attending Onesie Party = Support
Attending and hosting a Pyjama or Onesie Day is one way of helping the Love of Learning Program. Cold Rock will surely bring a cold, but gold, treat to the customers and the children in foster care.
There will also be a photo competition for the customers wearing their favourite jammies and onesies. Snap a photo in-store on your onesie and check-in using hashtags #NationalPyjamaDay and #ColdRockClayfield. The lucky winner will get a $50 Cake Voucher.
The store in Wilston will also be hosting a Onesie Party on the same day. Check out the event page for further details or visit their website and Facebook page.
