Steam Whistle Brewing was the site of Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario’s annual PJ Party.


More than 300 guests got cosy at Steam Whistle Brewing on Feb. 27 for the Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario’s annual PJ Party. The pyjama-clad crowd embraced this year’s theme, cabin fever, bringing the great indoors to life. For families dealing with childhood cancer, pyjamas are more than just comfy attire — they symbolize hospital stays, long days at the clinic and time spent healing at home. Hosted by Canadian Paralympian and childhood cancer survivor Andrew Haley, the event raised more than $350,000 to help patients and their families.
