October 3rd is Lee National Denim Day, which is a single-day fundraiser created by Lee Jeans to support the Women's Cancer Programs of the Entertainment Industry Foundation. Every year people nationwide are asked to wear their jeans and donate $5 in support of breast cancer research. This years ambassadors for the fundraiser are Grey's Anatomy's Chandra Wilson and Private Practice's Tim daly.
Since its inception in 1996, Lee National Denim Day has adhered to a simple philosophy: one day, one cause, one cure®. In 12 years, that philosophy has become a mantra for millions. The underlying concept behind the program was simple-by convincing enough people to take one small step, together they could reach an incredible goal.
Since its first year, Lee National Denim Day has raised more than $70 million for the fight against breast cancer and unites nearly one million supporters nationwide each year.
There's still time to participate! Pull together some co-workers to make casual friday into something extra special and wear your jeans to work- just don't forget to make your contribution to help someone you love fight breast cancer! Any company or individual can sign up to start a team or you can make individual donations at the Denim Day website.
