PURPOSE

The Third Annual 2017 Great Big JAM is a fun event for children, parents and grandparents that promotes family literacy and encourages children to engage in philanthropy. The JAM features a children’s author performance, crafts, balloon artists and face painters. Kids are invited to wear their favorite pajamas, enjoy breakfast and give back by bringing a pair of new pajamas for a disadvantaged young child served by ChildCareGroup.
