Lee National Denim Day
Date:  Friday, October 8, 2010
Time:  9:00 am – 2:00 pm
Location:  College Center Lobby

GCC’s Student Government Association has chosen to support Lee National Denim Day by participating in this event.  Gloucester County College will participate in this grassroots program which has raised more than $70 million for breast cancer research.  Everyone is encouraged to wear denim in exchange for a $5 donation to the Women’s Cancer Programs of the Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF).  Funds raised will support some of the most promising treatment and early detection research in the country.  Be sure to show your support by wearing your jeans on October 9 and stopping by the table in the lobby to make your donation in support of a great cause!
