Join My Team and Wear Denim on Friday Oct 3rd

Lee National Denim Day is taking place this year on Friday, October 3, 2008.
This is one of the largest single-day fundraisers for breast cancer and has raised more than $70 million in the fight against breast cancer.
This year, won’t you join me on wearing jeans on Friday, October 3rd and making a $5 contribution to the Women’s Cancer Programs of Entertainment Industry Foundation via our team page?
Here’s a link to the Pink Ribbon Review Denim Day Team Page.
I set a goal for $500 — if 100 people donate $5 through this site, we’ll meet that goal. (Of course, you can always donate more.)
AND … here’s a cool thing … Lee Jeans has selected me as one of 10 bloggers participating in a challenge this year:
If I recruit the most people (more than 50) to my team to participate with me in wearing denim and contributing to the fight against breast cancer on Oct. 3, I will win a $500 Lee wardrobe for myself or to give away to readers.
I hope by now you know me well enough to know I’ll share the wealth.
Now, for the record, proceeds from this fundraiser will go to the EIF to:
- Fund Lee Laboraties (working to find more effective, less toxic breast cancer treatments)
- Develop a blood test for earlier detection
- Helping the National Breast Cancer Coalition create online and print resources for advocate training and patient education
If you want to shop the apparel to psyche yourself up for the day … here’s the site for shopping.
So please, join me, on this fun fundraising day. And if you send me a photo of yourself that morning wearing your denim I’ll get it posted on my website (with a link to yours, by the way).
