host a PJ Get Together? It's easier than you think! Basically you can get reimbursed for up to $150 spent on a small PJ-inspired gathering for you and your friends. Things that qualify are things you may already be doing this summer, like meeting up at a splash pad with a picnic, going to the zoo with other families, or having folks over for a backyard BBQ. The
