Financial support
While we appreciate the many clothing donations
we receive, additional financial support allows us to purchase needed
items for our students. Your donation may also be used for gas money
to and from an interview and/or supplement the cost of professional
resume paper or business cards.
All financial donations to the Business Professional Closet are
to be made through the TTU University Advancement Office in Derryberry
Hall, Room 301, TTU Box 5047, Cookeville, TN 38505.
- All checks can be made out to the TTU Foundation Office
and must be marked BPC Clothes
Closet on the MEMO line so that your donation
can be designated appropriately.
- You may also contribute to The BPC via credit card
by our secure server by clicking on this link BPC
Online Giving. Please choose OTHER in section 2 of the
online form, and designate that your donation is going to The
College of Business Professional Clothes Closet (BPC). There
is also an option to choose to make a recurring gift.
- If you are a vendor of business professional clothes,
interview essentials or office supplies and would like to participate
in our cause, we welcome your participation.
The growth of this project will depend on donations made by the
supporters of the College of Business. Thank you for helping us
provide this service to our students.
