Jeans for JA


Leave your dress pants at home and wear your favorite jeans to work! Junior Achievement of Eastern Iowa, Inc. is holding its 4th Annual Jeans-4-JA event in recognition of National Junior Achievement Week, declared by President Eisenhower in 1955. 

During the week of February 1-5, employees of participating companies are encouraged to participate by wearing jeans to work, with a donation to Junior Achievement. Each participating company may determine the cost of wearing jeans (i.e. $10 per person), with all of the proceeds going to Junior Achievement programs.

To sign up your company to participate in Jeans-4-JA 2010, and to receive the Jeans-4-JA packet, including stickers and flyers, contact your local Junior Achievement office.

1.  Download the  Registration Form and return to your local JA office!
2.  Print the flyer to promote to your staff and customers!  (contact your local JA office to have a flyer customized for your dates)
3.  Set the price per person for participation (i.e. $5 per day or $20 per week) and hand out Jeans-4-JA stickers to give to employees when they pay. (stickers will be sent to you once your Registration Form has been received)
