New Delhi: Amazon chief Jeff Bezos in pyjamas to a board meeting... Yes, you are reading it right. World’s richest person Jeff Bezos attended company’s board meeting in this casual dress. For many of us doing it may be getting stares for this very ‘casual’ attire. Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, however, showed up to a board meeting in pajamas. Jeff Bezos, the richest man in the world, is doing it for a cause.

Wearing a dark blue nightsuit with white piping, Jeff Bezos looks like he came straight out of his bed to attend the meet. In his instagram post, Jeff shared why he dressed up like this.

“September is Childhood Cancer Awareness month and each year Amazon partners with @ACCOrg to raise awareness of childhood cancer – second leading cause of death for kids in the US between ages 4 and 14’, he wrote in an instagram post shared.

In his instagram post, Jeff Bezos explains that “Amazonians across the globe show their support by wearing their pajamas to work – also known as #PJammin. Another way we’re raising awareness is through our special #GoGold boxes – you may receive one during September. Never have I been more comfortable at an Amazon board meeting!”

Since being shared online, the post has received 64,877 likes and various comments

PJammin events are hosted in “solidarity for the thousands of children living in their pajamas for months while receiving medical treatment.” Each event helps raise money to support American Childhood Cancer organisation.

Employees at Amazon followed Jeff Bezos example and also started ‘PJammin.’
