Help us make a difference this season!
Accepting Donations October 1st – 21st
Joyce University is kicking off our 4th Annual Halloween Costume Drive to support the patients at Primary Children’s Hospital! 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! This year, you can help us create our most spooktacular Halloween yet by donating new, unused costumes for kids of all ages. See the list below for a complete list of needs.
How To Donate
There are so 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 are also accepting Amazon deliveries and monetary donations.

In-Kind Donation Guidelines
While we love receiving your gifts and in-kind donations, for the protection of Primary Children’s patients, there are restrictions surrounding this process. Please review the following guidelines carefully to be certain your donations are acceptable.
- All donated items must be new. No used items will be accepted.
- Donations cannot have any donor identification or contact information (i.e. first or last names, phone numbers, email addresses, website, blogs, personal stories, etc.). 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.
- We do not accept violent toys or games (such as toy guns) or paddle balls.
- For durability and safety purposes, we prefer name brand items when possible.
- We do not accept gift-wrapped items.
