Jeans for Genes Day is held on the first Friday of August each year; and it’s fun and easy to get involved. It’s a day where everyone can wear jeans and simply make a donation or buy a badge, whilst supporting a great cause: helping today’s scientist for tomorrow’s children.
You can be a Jeans for Genes Day Genie Genies help out on Jeans for Genes Day in your workplace, factories, schools and out on the streets. They help to promote the event, collect donations and take care of anything else that makes the day fun. They also raise money by selling Jeans for Genes Day products.

Funds raised by Jeans for Genes Day The money you raise from Jeans for Genes Day goes towards the work of these scientists. You will have heard about the human genome: we now have the basic outline of our genetic structure. But we don’t yet know how all our genes interact, and there is plenty of work still to be done. This type of research benefits children around the world.
