Jeans for Orphans

Wear your favorite casual clothes to work and raise money for charity!

Our “Jeans for Orphans” program allows you (with the agreement of your boss!) to wear casual clothes to work (on a Friday), and donate $5 to charity for the privilege of wearing your favorite jeans. You will receive a hand-made broche from Africa, and you will be able to work that day knowing that you are helping an orphan in Africa.

Want to start a “Jeans for Orphans” event at your place of work?

The program is really very simple, and we will assist you in every step of the process. Once you sign up or ask for more information, you will receive a “starter kit with all you need to get started.

If you have pictures of your event, send them, and we will post them up on our site.

What is Casual Friday, by Wikipedia

Casual Friday (also known as Dress-down Friday or simply Casual day) is an American business custom, wherein some offices celebrate a semi-reprieve from the constrictions of a dress code. Whereas, during the rest of the week, business shirts, suits, ties and dress shoes are the norm, on Casual Friday workers are allowed to wear casual dress. Some companies allow jeans, T-shirts, and sneakers but others require smart casual dress. Some offices in England also have a dress down day. On this day, Managers are allowed to dress as silly as they like. Even managers in their 40's can dress like "New Age Tramps". Caterpillar boots, stupid t-shirts and cheap jeans are the order of the day.
