The Bruins PJ Drive is back! From February 1 through March 15, Cradles to Crayons®, the Boston Bruins, Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners, and Wonderfund are coming together with organizations in your community to collect new pajamas for local children living in low-income and homeless situations.
Together, we are looking to collect 10,000 pairs of pajamas. By supporting us with a PJ Drive or pajama donations, you will directly supply new pajamas to the children who need them most, so they can stay warm for a good night’s sleep. Click the button below to learn more and register!
Cradles to Crayons is partnering with Mix 104.1 to launch Clothes for Kids, a campaign to collect new and gently used clothing. Catch our team and the Mix 104.1 Street Team at the Northshore Mall on March 21 from 1–3 PM.
We hope to see you there! And remember when you’re donating: Quality = Dignity.

Support Team Cradles to Crayons at the 2026 Boston Marathon!

Step into summer with Cradles to Crayons! Families are encouraged to bring gently used footwear donations (no cleats, dance shoes, slippers, business formal/heels, rain boots, or flip flops/slides). Kids and parents will have the chance to show off their “dancing shoes” during a fun dance party to “kick off” the arrival of summer.
