So if you have a \u2018denim dilemma\u2019 and jeans are banned in your workplace, here are some alternative fund-raising suggestions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ask everyone to donate \u00a32 and wear something blue for the day &#8211; socks, a blue tie or scarf &#8211; even blue nail varnish<\/li>\n<li>Do you have a steady hand? Then set up a nail bar at your desk and charge a small fee for painting your colleagues\u2019 nails various shades of blue.<\/li>\n<li>Organise a gene-themed competition:\u00a0 Ask your team to bring in pics of their parents or children.\u00a0 Charge an entry fee and see if you can spot who&#8217;s related to who. A small prize adds to the fun.<\/li>\n<li>Have a go at being a waiter and organise a drinks trolley.\u00a0 Sell Friday afternoon &#8216;gene &amp; tonics&#8217; (but stick to mocktails if you\u2019re driving!)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Maybe you are allowed to wear jeans every day, so Jeans for Genes sounds boring. In that case, ramp it up and wear double or triple denim for the day! You can dress up as a cowboy or girl, a lumberjack, farmer or rock star. Think of all the professions who originally wore denim before it was an everyday fabric and let your imagination run riot!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s Jeans for Genes day on Friday, September 23rd\u00a0and you can take part even if jeans are banned in your office (or even if you wear them every day)!
