Chapter President: Terry Miranda, terrym@pajamaprogram.org

Terry Miranda, Orange County Chapter President, is from Frankfurt, Germany and now lives in California with her husband and son. After being surrounded by people who constantly supported her family through tough times, she decided they needed to somehow give back. Terry heard about Pajama Program on the radio and decided to ask guests to bring pajamas instead of toys to her son’s second birthday party. When looking for local organizations to drop off the donations, she saw there was no Orange County Chapter and decided to become a Chapter President.
