MomActive believes in Giving Back and so does Komar, the largest sleepwear and intimate apparel manufacturer in the United States. Komar has set up a website called PJsforthecure.com in an effort to raise $1 million for the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation). 100% of every sale on Pjsforthecure.com will be donated to JDRF.
From the website:
The inspiration for PJs for the Cure originated with Charlie Komar, President & CEO of the 101 year old family company. Charlie explains, “In 1990, my wife, Liz, was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes. She was suddenly completely dependent upon synthetic insulin to keep her alive. She checks her blood sugar levels several times a day and is very careful of her eating habits and activities to ensure that she does not fall into a diabetic coma or worse. The realization of how serious her condition is and the dangers associated with it completely changed our lives.”
The efforts of JDRF and finding a cure for Juvenile Diabetes is a cause that MomActive has committed to being a part of. One of our loyal community members was recently touched by this disease when her daughter was diagnosed with Juvenile Diabetes. Later this week on BTR, MomActive Live will be speaking with Kelly Loubet @childhood about what led her to test her daughters urine for sugar and the blur of events that followed, ultimately resulting in a life-changing diagnosis for her daughter Ali. Tune in Tuesday at 11am ET HERE.
We encourage you to visit PJsforthecure.com to support this great cause and give recognition to a company that is giving back.
Being the parent of a child with JD, I am so excited to hear about this amazing gift to the JDRF. Thank you!

Diabetes unfortunately runs in my family. What a great PJsforthecure.com sounds like a great program! Thanks so much for sharing. Pajamas are popular Christmas gift items, so I hope this program gets exposure so people can simply buy their Christmas gift from them knowing that 100% of the proceeds goes to this great cause!
Thanks!!
Kelly
