The 5th Annual Pink Pajama Party raises money for women in need who are undergoing breast cancer treatment at Little Company of Mary Hospital’s Cancer Center.

The event takes place Jan. 23, beginning with a 3 p.m. check in at the DoubleTree hotel in Alsip, and it includes a cocktail hour, dinner, open bar, games, raffles, silent auctions, dancing and stories of survivorship, according to a Little Company of Mary Hospital news release.

Joanne Jager, chair of the event and the Pink Pajama Party Committee, started the pajama party as a way to make a difference in the lives of people with breast cancer.

Proceeds go toward transportation needs, delivering dinners after treatment and pharmaceutical needs.

“The success of the event has allowed us to put our finger on the pulse of what is needed to ease the physical, psychological and emotional needs of breast cancer patients when they need it most,” Jager said in the news release. “It has been an honor and a privilege to be a part of such an amazing group of women who inspire me daily and who remind me that, together, we can, we have and we will continue to make a difference.”
