Welcome to 

We are a group of grandmas, moms and caring individuals who want to make sure every child in the Calgary area goes to bed with a pair of warm pyjamas at night. We need your help!

Jammies from Grammies is a registered Canadian non-profit charity dedicated to supporting vulnerable individuals in our community. This year, we are embarking on a special campaign to provide warmth, comfort, and dignity to children, vulnerable pregnant and parenting women aged 16-24, and seniors who are living without family support.

Jammies from Grammies is thrilled to announce our participation in the 2025 Rogers Birdies for Kids presented by AltaLink campaign.

This exciting initiative offers a unique opportunity for donors to maximize their impact and support providing new pyjamas for kids in the Calgary area in need of warmth, comfort and sweet dreams.

Rogers Birdies for Kids presented by AltaLink is a non-profit program under the Calgary Shaw Charity Classic Foundation. This program is designed to help raise new funds for local charities, engage the community in the tournament, and provide matching funds for each charity involved.

  • You can donate online or by cheque until August 31
  • Donations can be made to the Shaw Charity Classic Foundation matching pool or directly to a participating charity
  • Donations directed to a participating charity are matched up to 50% using the Foundation matching pool
  • All administrative costs are covered by the tournament, meaning 100% of all donations will go directly to the charity selected.

By donating to Jammies from Grammies through Rogers Birdies for Kids, we will receive add an additional 50% more to any monetary donation.

Please support Jammies from Grammies!

We are absolutely over the moon with gratitude that Jammies from Grammies has once again been chosen to receive funding from Calgary Children’s Foundation for 2025. This year we will be able to help even more children stay warm with these funds.

Since 1992, the foundation has raised money for small children’s charities in the Calgary Area.  Many recipients are not in a position to do large-scale fundraising or sophisticated communications.

As you may know, for many people in our community, basic needs are not a given. For those fleeing situations of incredible adversity—whether it be domestic violence, homelessness, or displacement—simple comforts like a new pair of pyjamas can bring a sense of relief and security. With this in mind, we are raising funds to provide brand-new pyjamas for those in need. These gifts may seem simple, but they have a profound impact, offering warmth, comfort, and a reminder that they are not alone.

Our beneficiaries:

  • Children who are navigating difficult circumstances, such as homelessness, abuse, or displacement.
  • Pregnant and parenting women aged 16-24 who are fleeing domestic violence, addiction, or homelessness and need extra support as they care for their young families.
  • Seniors who, due to social isolation or lack of family, often find themselves without the support they need during difficult times.

About Us

Jammies from Grammies is a registered Canadian non-profit charity collecting new pyjamas and cuddly toys for children (0-16 years of age) in the Calgary area in need of warmth, comfort and sweet dreams. We know that having something that makes you feel warm and safe can be so important to children.

It has taken a long time, but Jammies from Grammies is now a Canadian Registered Charity!

Unlike other provinces, Alberta AGLC controls fundraising and even the ability to apply for funding. There are so many rules we are extremely limited…to the point that online fundraising actually costs us money as we are required to hire someone to monitor what we are doing..we are a small charity so it costs us more to do that what we actually make for our event. Being CRA doesn’t change that but it allows us to apply for funding and as well host events where money can exchange hands and we can now issue donation receipts

​We work with organizations like Woods Homes to ensure that our pyjamas get to the children that need them the most.
