April is just around the corner, and thus the time when OT professionals have an opportunity to educate, instruct and excite people about just what it is you do. We decided to incorporate a fun challenge during OT Month which will involve our residents, as well as, raise funds for The Cookie Jar Fund!

APRIL OT MONTH CHALLENGE: Each and every Occupational Therapy team is challenged to take the “CJF Recipe Book/Apron Challenge!” To participate in this challenge, your rehab team would purchase one CJF Cookbook/logo apron for $30.00 (all proceeds benefit the CJF) and CREATIVELY develop a resident activity that incorporates the use of these items.

We know many innovative OT’s out there and predict this to be a superb challenge! Please take pictures of your activity in action with residents and send to [email protected] by April 25, 2014. We will select the most creative entry and that team will receive a $150 Target card to purchase items for your department, or go to lunch, or whatever you choose! The winning team will be announced on April 28, 2014.

To order your CJF Cookbook/logo apron, please go to www.cookiejarfund.com, select the $30 option then click donate. You will have the option on the payment page to select “special instructions” and you can leave a note to us saying “CJF Challenge.”

Happy Baking!
