"JEANS FOR JUSTICE" DAY

Jeans for Justice

Ask your firm or corporation to hold a dress-down day for a good cause. Here's how it works: Employees of participating offices make a small donation (ex. $5, $10, etc.) for the right to dress in casual attire for the day instead of traditional business wear. Each office collects the donations from employees and sends the total amount collected to the Allegheny County Bar Foundation. 100 percent of the proceeds go toward supporting programs that provide free legal services to low-income residents of Allegheny County.
