Annual Halloween Costume Drive

Help us make a difference this season!

Joyce University has kicked off its 5th Annual Halloween Costume Drive to support the patients at Primary Children’s Hospital. Donations will be accepted now through October 23rd. Last year, the Joyce community stepped up to deliver more than one thousand donations to the kids at Primary Children’s, meeting 100% of their holiday needs! Help us give these patients the most thrilling Halloween yet with your donations of new, unused costumes for kids of all ages.

See the list below for needed items to donate.
