Lawyers don PJs to back foster care

Dandenong lawyers donned pyjamas at work to support children in foster care.
The Macpherson Kelley Foundation teamed up with the Pyjama Foundation on Friday 22 July.
The law firm raised more than $1500, which can provide training kits for 31 new Pyjama Angels to improve the future of children in foster care.
Macpherson and Kelley managing director Damian Paul said he hoped the event would inspire others to get on board with National Pyjama Day and raise awareness and funding to develop the learning skills and overall wellbeing for children in foster care.
“The Macpherson Kelley Foundation was created exactly for this purpose, to enable our staff to support causes that we are passionate about and to make a real difference for those in need,” he said.
The public ancillary fund was launched earlier this year, to help Macpherson Kelley employees and clients to engage with charitable causes.
“Philanthropy can be a confusing space and it takes a lot to cut through the noise,” foundation, philanthropy and community engagement special counsel Jo Hastings said.
“The services that we provide can help to simplify the options available and develop a meaningful and effective strategy for giving.”
