It's fun, it's simple and it's a great cause! Jeans for Genes is a national appeal where everyone across the UK is asked to throw out the usual dress rules, jump into their jeans and donate £1 at schools or £2 at work to help children with genetic disorders. Jeans for Genes Day 2007 was held on Friday 5th October, and the date for 2008 will be Friday 3rd October. If you can't make this date simply pick another – you can hold your fundraising activity on any day of the year!
