Overview

CHIP Executive Council is partnering with Joseph's Coat for a friendly clothing drive competition among all health professional programs from March 24 to April 4!

To participate, place your items in a sealed paper or plastic bag in a donation box and label the bag with your health professional program. Visit our website to learn where your program’s donation box resides. We will monitor donations on a daily basis and track points for your program!

All donated clothing must be in clean and buyable condition.

Each article of clothing donated will be worth a certain number of points. Monetary donations can also count for points, and each $1.00 donated to Joseph’s Coat will equal 3 points. The program with the most points at the end of the drive will receive a $500 prize! Point distributions are listed on our website. 

*To accommodate for differences in program size, final program scores will be calculated as donation points per student.
