Leave your dress pants at home and wear your favorite jeans to work! Junior Achievement of Eastern Iowa held its 6th Annual Jeans-4-JA event in recognition of National Junior Achievement Week, declared by President Eisenhower in 1955. 

During the week of Janurary 31st- February 4th, employees of participating companies joined in by wearing jeans to work, with a donation to Junior Achievement. Each participating company determined the cost of wearing jeans (i.e. $10 per person), with all of the proceeds going to Junior Achievement programs.

It’s not too late to participate! Sign up your company to participate in Jeans-4-JA 2011, and to receive the Jeans-4-JA packet, including stickers and flyers, contact your local Junior Achievement office.
