This year's goal is $4,000
We are excited to announce that South Valley is participating in Pajama Day to raise funds for Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP)! On December 6th, we invite all students to wear their favorite school-appropriate pajamas and bring in an optional donation to help raise money for the children and families cared for at CHOP. We will be accepting donations on our school’s online Pajama Day fundraising page which you can access here! If you would like to make a donation by check, please make it payable to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Foundation and put “South Valley – Pajama Day” on the memo line.
Giving back and creating a sense of community are important to us here at South Valley. By supporting Pajama Day, you are helping to support kids who rely on Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia for care, cures, and hope. CHOP is a charitable organization that has been serving families and making advancements in pediatrics since 1855.
We thank you for helping us make this effort a success by saying YAY to Pajama Day! Every dollar makes a difference in the life of a child. If you have any questions, please reach out to schoolfundraising@chop.edu.
