the superhero project
pj’s with a smile
The Superhero Project would like to encourage rest and relaxation for all new mothers, especially those who have children they have to leave behind in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of the hospital.
The PJs with a Smile campaign seeks to provide NICU mothers with a brand new set of pjs and a letter of encouragement from a former NICU mom, plus some other goodies. Our hope in creating this campaign is to encourage new mothers to get the necessary rest needed in the postpartum phase and feel motivated and encouraged with the support of a handwritten letter. If you would like to support this initiative, please contact us today!
We are currently accepting new pajamas. We also have custom card stock to send to you if you are interested in being part of our letter writing campaign.
Thank you to Audrey & Bear for donating hundreds of swaddles through their Swaddle 4 Swaddle Program
We are so grateful of the commitment from Ingrid and Isabel to partner with us this Giving Tuesday. For every pair of PJs purchased they will be donating back a set for new moms. Our hope is to remind all moms, especially our NICU superhero ones, to get a good nights rest
Thank You!

Bridget McKinney
I hold a Doctorate in Biomedical Ethics and currently work for a large pharmaceutical company as an Associate Director, Operations Portfolio Lead overseeing oncology clinical trials in GI and GU therapeutic area. I also am an adjunct professor for Camden County Community College, teaching Bioethics to nursing students.
The job I am most proud of though is that of mom to three little girls: Elizabeth (36 weeker), Nora (33 weeker) and Erin (34 weeker). Having three extremely difficult pregnancies and experiencing the NICU truly shaped who I was not only as a mom but a person in whole. I would like to raise awareness and advocate for mother’s health so that all moms feel comfortable and confident in their new role as a mom of a Superhero. We strive to raise awareness that moms are patients too and deserve that recognition as they are in the process of healing while they are embarking on motherhood. Together we can change the perinatal experience.

Write a Letter to a NICU Mom
Your letter to a NICU mom will mean so much to her. Your letter will let her know she is not alone and that others are thinking of her.
KINDRED BRAVELY
BIG ANNOUNCEMENT
This insanely successful company partnered with us this past spring and donated one pair of pjs to our ”Pjs and a Smile” campaign for every pair that was purchased during that month. I am so proud to announce that we have over 800 pairs of PJs that are coming our way to give out to 800 moms on discharge day from the NICU. 800!!!
We currently have 7 partner hospitals with 3 already giving out the PJs and will be expanding soon.
