Genevieve Piturro

Founder

Genevieve Piturro led a successful career as a television marketing executive in New York City for twenty years when a little girl’s question (“What are pajamas?”) changed the course of her life forever. At that pivotal moment, Genevieve decided to jump off the corporate ladder and began delivering pajamas and books to children in shelters. In 2001, she founded Pajama Program, which has been recognized nationwide for both its success and Genevieve’s story.


Genevieve published Purpose, Passion and Pajamas in August 2020 about her transformation from the corporate life to starting a nonprofit. You can purchase the book here!
