The Canton Symphony Orchestra in Ohio is collecting new pajamas to be donated to the Children’s Network of Stark County, which offers coordinated services to children and their families who are impacted by violence, sexual abuse, severe physical abuse, and human trafficking. Each person who donates a pair of new pajamas—size newborn through adult— at the orchestra’s December 8 Holiday Pops concert at Umstattd Performing Arts Hall will receive a $5 voucher good for a future ticket purchase. At each pops performance this season, the orchestra is coordinating collection efforts with community partners; future collections are planned to benefit the Canton Friendship Center, the Domestic Violence Project, and Compass Rape Crisis. President and CEO Michelle Mullaly said, “The Children’s Network of Stark County is doing great work for children in our community. We hope by this small gesture, we can offer a little bit of hope to people in this county.”
