Make your Jeans for Genes Day a huge success. Our ‘ten reasons’ will get everyone behind you.
- It’s fun and simple to organise. All you have to do is ask people to come to work in their jeans and make a donation of £2
- It’s a great way to bring a team, a floor or the whole company together
- It can help to raise the profile of your organisation – highlight your fundraising in your annual report, on your website and in your local paper or trade magazine
- Staff will think it’s great – the boss will look good for letting you all wear your jeans
- Although, individually, genetic disorders are rare, together they are the biggest killer of children 14 and under
- Create a bit of role reversal and give the boss a ‘day off’ – sponsor him or her to make the tea or do the photocopying
- £350 will pay for a child with a genetic disorder to spend a weekend away with other children like them, supported by trained medical staff
- Wearing jeans and having some fun in the office starts the weekend that bit earlier
- Raising money on Jeans for Genes Day helps your company to meet its corporate social responsibility targets
- The fun and fundraising don’t have to stop at 5.30pm. Make a night of it, serve a ‘gene and tonic’ drinks trolley and hold a pub quiz or karaoke night at the local pub!
