This year, Avery is sponsoring Jeans for Genes Day, when thousands of people make a donation to wear their jeans to the office. This year the day is Friday 1st October, so make a note in your diary.
An estimated one in 25 children born in the UK has a genetic disorder ? that?s more than 30,000 children each year. Jeans for Genes has raised ?35 million in the 15 years since it was launched, and the target set for this year is ?2.5 million. The money raised helps to fund vital care, support and respite for those affected by genetic disorders as well as pioneering research into the causes and cures that could change their futures. Avery is looking for co-ordinators to organise the day at their workplaces. All you have to do is visit www.jeansforgenesday.com to order a free fundraising pack of ideas, stickers, posters and a collection box. You can also download a range of Avery templates to create customised stickers, bucket wraps and self-laminating signs, ideal for making the fundraising as stylish as the jeans worn on the day.
