Teresa Heeney, CEO of Early Childhood Ireland said it is proud to partner LauraLynn for this year's event. 

"We look forward to a day when children in Louth and across Ireland come together to enjoy a day of fun, kindness and community, while this year supporting the delivery of personalised care to children with palliative and complex needs and vital supports for their families,” she said. 

Kerry McLaverty, CEO of LauraLynn, said the funds will help them to continue providing specialised care and vital family supports to children with life-limiting conditions.

"Funds raised through National Pyjama Day have played a key role in our delivery of first-of-its-kind eco-learning for educators and families. With continued support, we can ensure more children are empowered on their Eco-Emotions journey," she said.
