2016 Annual CHOP Prom Reach Out and Read Book Drive

[Melissa Appio]

Obviously our class is the best...we just need to prove it!!!

Don't forget about the 2016 Annual CHOP Prom Reach Out and Read Book Drive--  the friendly competition between CHOP residency classes!

All money and books donated will benefit the Reach Out and Read program at our CHOP Primary Care Residency sites (Cobbs Creek, Karabots, and South Philadelphia).

The winning class will not only earn bragging rights, but also the chance to dance the Wobble (or the Cupid Shuffle or perhaps the Whip) with Dr. Z, Dr. Rezet, or Dr. Callahan.

 

The details:

Who:    First years vs. Second years vs. Third/Fourth years. (We welcome all other participants and encourage them to choose a class to support!)

When:  Collecting donations through Monday, May 23^rd.  (The winning class(es) will be announced at the CHOP Prom on May 26th.)
