DONATION DRIVE
Elite Tournaments has partnered with Casey Cares to host a pajama and gift card drive at the OBGC Capital Cup. Inspired by the memory of a Casey Cares child, this program provides new sleepwear and pajama-themed parties to children on extended hospital stays. They are on track to provide more than 24,000 new pairs of pajamas to pediatric patients at area hospitals this year alone. Their biggest needs are always infant and teen/adult sized PJs, but they accept any new pairs of pajamas. Please keep tags on them so the families know they are new! Gift cards can also be donated in any denomination for their At Home Movie & Pizza Nights. Some examples of their preferred stores and restaurants are Amazon, Fandango, Netflix, Pizza Hut, Papa Johns, Dominos, and any local grocery store.
All items can be dropped off at the headquarters location of each tournament site. If you have any questions or would like to donate and cannot attend the event, please contact Cameron Griffin at [email protected].
