Girl Scout Thanks-A-Lot™ Denim Days
Wear jeans to work to send a girl to camp this summer!
What are "Dress-Down Days"?
Girl Scout Thanks-A-Lot™ Denim Days support the Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts annual campership campaign, which gives girls the opportunity to attend summer camp! Taking part in a Thanks-A-Lot™ Denim Day helps raise your business's profile in the community, provides a great team building opportunity for staff, and makes a difference in many girls’ lives.
How does it work?
The Girl Scout Thanks-A-Lot™ Denim Days campaign kicked off on Friday, June 5, and runs every Friday until August 14. Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts invites companies, organizations and schools in eastern Massachusetts to “Go Green” this summer and participate in this fun team-building activity while also supporting a great cause.
Employees are encouraged to make a $5 donation to wear jeans to work on the Friday the company designates as their Girl Scout Thanks-A-Lot™ Denim Day. All proceeds go directly to the Girl Scouts’ Campership Campaign.
