Annual Halloween Costume Drive

Help us make a difference this season!

Accepting Donations September 30th – October 25th

Joyce University kicks off its 6th Annual Halloween Costume Drive to support the patients at Primary Children’s Hospital. Donations open September 30th!

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, and this year the community helped us give these patients the most thrilling Halloween yet with donations of new, unused costumes for kids of all ages.

See the list below for donated items.

How to Donate

Starting September 30th, there are many ways to contribute to our Halloween drive this year. In addition to physical donations, which can be made at our Draper campus in Utah, we also accept Amazon deliveries and monetary donations.

If donations include any personal information, they will either be removed before distribution, or the donation may be declined based on the discretion of Foundation personnel.
• Donors will not be allowed to personally deliver gifts to patients or families.
• Donors should not expect to receive pictures, stories, or updates from patients or families.
• No medical equipment, baby formula, or wheelchairs are accepted.
