Once in awhile, mattress companies do get involve with other activities and community service… it’s not just all about business. And if isn’t about helping preserve the environment, it’s other worthy causes one after another.

For three years now, Sleep Country USA has been hosting a fund-raising party within their community. This year it was all about a Pajama Bowl Party held at a local bowling alley in the Portland and Seattle Area. The event was held to help raise cash donations to support children’s charities.

“We are thrilled to be able to play a significant role in bringing together this generous community for such a fun event,” said Terry Horsley, Vice President of Brand Strategy, Sleep Country USA. “The tremendous response from individuals and businesses enabled us to raise tens of thousands of dollars in cash to our foster care organization partners and heartily support their efforts to ensure foster children have fulfilling childhoods and a successful transition into adulthood. We are overwhelmed by the caring and kindness demonstrated at these events, reinforcing our belief that while not everyone can be a foster parent, anyone can help a foster child(TM).”

But even as the event is over, donations may still be contributed via Sleep Country’s clothing drive. Drop off old or unused clothes to any of Sleep Country’s store across America, and you sure would be able to help thousands of children in need.
