Nickelodeon UK has once again partnered with
Jeans for Genes Day in order for SpongeBob SquarePants and his Bikini Bottom pals to promote the fundraising event, which this year will be held on Friday 18th September 2015! The Nickelodeon superstar along with Patrick Star, Gary the Snail and Sandy Cheeks will be appearing a range of charity keyrings and on promotional materials for the event.
Jeans for Genes raises money for Genetic Disorders UK and aims to change the world for children with genetic disorders. There are more than 6,000 genetic disorders. Individually, genetic disorders are rare but together they affect 1 in 25 children born in the UK - that's more than 30,000 babies each year. Their associated health problems mean that genetic disorders are the biggest cause of death of children aged 14 years and under.
This year's Jeans for Genes Day takes place on Friday 18th September 2015 and is aiming to raise £2 million to provide vital care and support to children with genetic disorders. The day invites people of all ages to leave their suits and uniforms at home and wear their denim jeans to work or school in return for a donation which will help change the lives of children across the UK. It’s important that as many people as possible pitch in.
Jeans for Genes Day provides vital funding for the care and support of children with genetic disorders. In 2014, 25 charities benefited from the funds raised on Jeans for Genes Day.
This year is the landmark 20th anniversary of the Jeans for Genes campaign! Since 1996, Jeans for Genes has raised over £40 million for children with genetic disorders!
