Each year, Lee Jeans sponsors National Denim Day to raise money for the fight against cancer. Since its inception in 1996, Denim Day has raised more than $70 million for this extraordinary cause. This month, Azavar joins more than one million supporters in one of the largest fundraisers nationwide.
Here’s how Denim Day works: Lee Jeans invites companies to go casual for a cause, encouraging employees to wear jeans to work in exchange for a $5 contribution. Though Denim Day is a single-day event, we plan to continue the fundraising throughout October which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. We hope to raise a minimum of $5 per person. Let the fundraising begin!
