January 8, 2019 - Boulder, Colorado - The Boulder Valley Rotary Club and Art Cleaners teamed up once again for the 28th annual coat drive collection and distribution. With the help of many community members, nearly 3,000 coats and other winter garments such as sweaters, snowsuits, hats, gloves, scarves and boots were collected through various Boulder and Broomfield County schools and businesses. These winter garments were cleaned, sorted and distributed earlier this winter to people in need through various charitable organizations.
In addition, the Boulder Valley Rotary Club provides a cash prize to the schools that collect the most coats per student in three categories based on school size:
1st place - $150
2nd place - $100
3rd place - $50
School contest winners are:
Small Schools (less than 350 students)
Jamestown Elementary - 1st place
Nederland Elementary – 2nd place
Jarrow Montessori – 3rd place
Medium Schools (350-550 students)
Douglas Elementary – 1st place
Louisville Elementary – 2nd place
Nevin Platte Middle School – 3rd place
Large Schools (more than 550 students)

Congratulations to each of these schools who will be receiving a check in the mail shortly.
