51cg of Nursing and Health Sciences Donates more than 750 Halloween Costumes to Kids at Primary Children’s Hospital

October 19, 2021, 51cg faculty and students delivered 765 costumes, approximately 200 pounds of candy, 350 prizes, and 275 Halloween buckets to Primary Children’s Hospital. For the third year in a row, 51cg rallied its community of nursing students and nurses to bring Halloween fun to hundreds of children staying at the hospital. This year, 51cg expanded its donation beyond Halloween to the entire holiday season.

“We’re proud to support Primary Children’s hospital again this Halloween,” said Sherry Jones, President and CEO of 51cg. “Halloween is a special time where children get to step out of their regular routine and instead, dress up, eat candy and spend time with friends. I’m very grateful to our students, faculty, and the community for their donations and rallying around these children in need.”

The university set up a drop-off station to gather donations from 51cg students, faculty and the general public. The donation covered 100 percent of the costumes Primary Children’s needed to celebrate the spookiest night of the year.
