Pajamas for Seniors Mother’s Day Tea and Drive-Thru at The Preston of the Park Cities was the most successful event ever, bringing in a record 623 pairs of PJs and nightgowns for low-income seniors in area nursing homes.
Supporters were invited to enjoy tea, scones and flowers and entered a drawing for a floral arrangement and 1 year membership to the Dallas Arboretum.
Regina Bruce, a founding member of the Dallas Magnolias, one of the sponsors, said, “When we heard about this wonderful nonprofit and its grass roots mission to help low-income seniors, our hearts were won from the start. We were delighted to be involved with the event and help spread the word. We’re thrilled to have been a part of the team bringing in a record amount of PJs!”
“We had an amazing event at The Preston at Park Cities with a record number of new pairs of pajamas and nightgowns donated to needy female seniors,” said Jo Alch, R.N., and Executive Director, Pajamas for Seniors. “Most people don’t realize that 60% of the residents of nursing homes and assisted livings have no relatives. A gift of pajamas lets them know that someone still cares. It’s a simple gesture that makes a huge difference in someone’s life. The Dallas Magnolias made it happen. We are so grateful to this wonderful group of powerful women.”
Many thanks to sponsors: Dallas Magnolias, Cedar Creek Country Club staff and members, Ruby Care, The Preston of the Park Cities, Visiting Angels, and Visiting Nurse Association.
