About Us
EJ’s PJs started with one mission in mind – to give pajamas to everyone in the community who need the items the most – and that mission has not changed since 2011 when Patricia Poggi and her sons started the drive.
The name EJ’s PJs is inspired by Patricia Poggi’s three sons, Edward, Jeremy, and Patrick who are the backbone and driving force behind this annual fundraiser. EJ’s PJs began as a way to give back to the community and to take time out of the holiday season to reflect upon what matters most in this life, which is helping others!
