One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. That’s a startling statistic. But since 1996, Lee National Denim Day® has raised nearly $83 million for the fight against breast cancer ... $5 at a time.
For the second year in a row, Lee National Denim Day® is proud to partner with the Cancer Support Community, an international non-profit dedicated to providing support, education and hope to people affected
by cancer.
On National Denim Day®, October 7, Certified Alarm Systems & Home Theaters will be joining together for a very special “casual Friday” to help Lee National Denim Day® celebrate 16 years of fighting breast cancer. Certified employees are gearing up to participate in this grassroots program which has raised more than $83 million for breast cancer research by simply asking the nation to put on their jeans for a $5 donation to the Women’s Cancer Programs of the Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF).

Funds raised from participation in Denim Day® will support:
· Lee Translational Laboratories, a collaboration of six of the nation’s leading research institutions to find less toxic, more effective treatments.
· The EIF Breast Cancer Biomarker Discovery Project, a multi-year effort led by world-class scientists to develop a blood test for early detection of breast cancer when survival rates are the highest.
· The Cancer Support Community, an international non-profit uniting The Wellness Community and Gilda’s Club Worldwide that provides emotional and social support to all people affected by cancer.
We Protect The Things You Can‘t Replace.
“Our employees are always interested in participating in more charitable events” says Jan & Rusty Howard, owners of Certified Alarm Systems & Home Theaters. “Lee National Denim Day® is easy and fun to do. Everyone gets to wear jeans to work in exchange for a $5 donation and the money helps fight breast cancer, a cause that is very important to many of our employees.”
Certified employees will add their own flavor to Lee National Denim Day® by encouraging online and in office donation collections to commemorate their fundraising accomplishments and further the message of the importance of early detection.
“We are more grateful every year at the number of organizations like Certified Alarm Systems & Home Theaters, who come together across the country and donate to make this grassroots program a continued success,” said Liz Cahill, Vice President of Marketing Communications for Lee Jeans. “This year as we celebrate our 16th anniversary, we’d like to thank all the companies and people across the nation that has continued to participate in Lee National Denim Day and helped us contribute more than $83 million in the fight against breast cancer.”
