The PICCPerfect team is made up of current Babson students, Emily Levy ’16, Maria del Mar Gomez ’16, Julianne Carlin ’17. Together with alumnus Yousef Al-Humaidhi ’15, they created a functional and fashionable PICC line cover for those with long term illness.

The fourth round of competition for the CGI U Commitment Challenge is coming to a close on Wednesday, March 31 at 11:59 a.m. PICCPerfect is looking to advance to the fifth and final round. The three PICCPerfect Babson students along with five others, were chosen to attend the 2016 CGI U on April 1-3 at the University of California, Berkeley in the San Francisco Bay Area.

All funds raised through the competition will go towards PICCPerfect’s Sponsor A Patient program that provides PICC line covers for patients in need and support for their blog #LymeintoLemonAid that gives a voice to patients.
