Jeans for Genes Day is a nationwide fundraising initiative held in Australia each year and a much-anticipated annual event at Unicare Health.
What is Jeans for Genes Day?
Jeans for Genes was launched in 1994 in an effort to support the researchers at the Children’s Medical Research Institute and raise awareness of childhood genetic diseases.
Shocking figures show that 1 in 20 kids are born with a birth defect or genetic disease.
On average, that is one child in every classroom affected.
This presents huge challenges not only for those affected but also for their families.
Funds raised through Jeans for Genes Day enable researchers at Children’s Medical Research Institute to discover treatments and cures for childhood diseases such as cancer, birth defects, genetic diseases and debilitating neurological disorders like epilepsy and autism.
The week building up to Jeans for Genes Day was filled with cheerful chatter about outfit inspirations, party planning and recipe ideas.
With a fundraising goal of $600 in mind, Unicare Health staff wore denim and blue to work in support of National Jeans for Genes Day and generously gave to the cause while savouring homemade morning tea delights.
Morning Tea Fundraisers at Unicare Health are always a great display of teamwork and friendship.
Supporting charitable causes such as Jeans for Genes is also a great reminder of the mission
and vision Unicare has as a company.
We’re proud to share that we not only met our target but exceeded it by raising a total of $910 as a team!
We trust that our donations will enable more children living with genetic diseases to experience an enjoyable childhood.
