Jeans for Genes is a major fundraiser of the Children's Medical Research Institute.
This includes Jeans for Genes Day, events, exhibitions and other FUNdraising events throughout the year.
Chances are you probably know someone who has a genetic disease, because one in twenty children are born with some form of genetic fault. There are children with leukaemia, muscular dystrophy, genetic defects and many other disorders. The scientists at the Children’s Medical Research Institute are working to try to prevent these diseases before they occur in our children, or where that is not possible to develop better treatments.
Jeans for Genes Day
It’s so much fun and real 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.
You are part of every discovery we make
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.
