About 80 children and staff from Ballarat North Early Learning Centre donned their comfy tracksuit pants yesterday to support Tracky Dack Day for children’s charity TLC for Kids.
For a gold coin donation they spent the day in comfort knowing the money would go toward helping provide distraction boxes for children in hospitals throughout Australia, or supporting families of sick children.
”Anything to do with kids is close to our hearts of course, and who doesn’t want to wear trackies to work,” said the centre’s assistant director Tammy Holmes.
“We absolutely love that charity and the work it does.”
TLC for Kids founder Tim Conolan said wearing tracky dacks was a way to show support for children in hospital.
“Hospital staff encourage kids to wear tracky dacks … to change that scope of thinking they’re sitting in pyjamas feeling sick and sorry. It helps with recovery,” he said.
