Students Gather Donations for Joplin

PT students from Rockhurst University joined students from other midwest PT programs in gathering donations to help the people in Joplin, Missouri who are still recovering from an EF-5 tornado in May.

Under the direction of second year student Kati Mayer, they raised $315 in cash along with two car loads of adult and children clothing, non-perishable food, books, children's toys, hygiene products, pillows, blankets, paper towels, and toilet paper.

The students coordinated their efforts with students in the PT program at Southwest Baptist University in Bolivar, Missouri who coordinated the effort.
