The Pyjama Foundation turns five with cupcakes, champagne and Nick Earls

Rising to the occasion The Pyjama Foundation’s fifth birthday party at Brisbane’s Powerhouse included all the essentials – balloons, cake and party bags. However their party was like no other as they shared with guests a special screening of the latest play from award winning author Nick Earls, The True Story of Butterfish.


The Gray Media Services team joined over 200 fellow guests on October 7 in celebrating and showing their support for The Pyjama Foundation and its special birthday, enjoying the cupcakes, champagne and special theatre performance on offer.


A proud long-time supporter, Nick Earls made an exclusive appearance on stage to share with the audience why he is so passionate about helping The Pyjama Foundation and the influences and intentions that inspired his tale of The True Story of Butterfish.


The birthday party concluded a busy few weeks for The Pyjama Foundation in the media spotlight as they featured in a series of articles in Queensland publications as well as radio interviews on Queensland’s ABC radio program and Brisbane’s FM station 96.5 as organised by Gray Media Services.


Our targeted public relations campaign drummed up publicity for this special birthday event, increasing ticket sales by five times more than the expected amount.


Look out for the next issue of Woman’s Day to see a feature on The Pyjama Foundation’s founder Bronwyn Sheehan as she shares why she chose to start this organisation five years ago and the profound impact it has had on the lives of thousands of foster families during this time.
