Feeling in the pink: Lee Denim Day is Oct. 2

It’s time to get your pink on: the District will celebrate Lee Denim Day on Oct. 2.

For $5 (or a more generous donation if you wish) you can wear jeans on Oct. 4, and as an extra incentive to students we also ask that you wear a shirt or T-shirt from the college you attended on that day.

Last year District employees raised just shy of $6,000 on Lee Denim Day, and had its highest participation rate since GESD began to take part in the national program seven years ago. All money raised on Lee Denim Day goes to the American Cancer Society for breast cancer research.

In addition to the wearing jeans, the District is looking to Paint It Pink, where you decorate your classroom, work area or person to honor breast cancer survivors throughout October. A team of judges will be around to see your work, and a trophy will be awarded for the office or classroom that best Paints It Pink.
