For the fifth year, United Way of Central Kansas is hosting its annual Jeans Day for United Way, where employees donate to United Way so they can wear jeans to work on Nov. 14 and are entered in a prize drawing.

This event has grown over the past few years, raising more than $6,500 toward the nonprofit organization’s Campaign Goal, with more than 30 businesses participating each year.

Businesses can participate by contacting UWCK to get signed up. They will receive Jeans Day stickers and drawing slips. Leading up to the event, employers should let their employees know about the opportunity they have to wear jeans to support UWCK. On Nov. 14, all they have to do is wear jeans, donate at least $1, and fill out a drawing slip. Each dollar that they donate gets them another chance to win. One winner is chosen from each business, with the final drawing being held on Dec. 5 at The Buckle.

The final winner will win a free pair of BKE Jeans, donated by The Buckle.

This is a great way to help UWCK reach its Community Commitment of $275,000. For more information call UWCK, 620-792-2403, or email unitedwaycentralks@hotmail.com.
