1. Run, walk, ride, knit...
And do it for children's health

Fancy a marathon, fun run, mountain hike, or bike ride? Or is a knit-athon or bake-off more your thing? Or maybe you're attempting to break a world record. Whatever it is you like to do, you can raise money doing it. Through Everyday Hero, you can create an online fundraising page in less than five minutes, then email it to your friends, family and colleagues inviting them to support your endeavour and Jeans for Genes at the same time. It really is that simple. Have fun!

2. One celebration, two purposes

Here comes that annual dinner, graduation, or Christmas party again. Add an extra dollop of fun and purpose to the event by doubling it as a Jeans for Genes fundraiser.

Are you celebrating a birthday, anniversary, or wedding and don't want gifts? Why not ask guests to contribute to the health of our children instead?

We're happy to help and advise. email or call Mary Donnelly on (02) 8865 2800. We'll send you  a Function Information Kit which contains everything you will need to make your event a fundraising success.

3. Do you believe in karma?

Instead of giving socks (again!), why not give the gift of a healthier future for children? Karma Currency charity gift vouchers allow the recipient to give their gift to a cause that's close to their heart, and Jeans for Genes is one of Karma Currency's listed charities. You can even set up your own gift registry there.

4. Do your own thing

  • Musically inclined? Organise a Jamm for Genes concert.
  • Like to bake? Host a blue denim morning tea or a denim dinner party.
  • Sausage sizzles are always a sizzling success!
  • Order some badges to sell to friends and neighbours.
  • Bit of a card shark? Hold a card night at home and donate the winnings to Jeans for Genes.
  • Play Bingo!
  • Hold a trivia night or fashion parade at your local club.
