Did you know that a donation to Jeans Day helps local charities in our area and aligns with UWL’s strategic plan priority of increasing community engagement? Donations are appreciated.

UWL is one of many local organizations that participates in the La Crosse Tribune's monthly ‘Jeans Day.’ In return for a suggested donation of $1, participants may wear jeans rather than usual business attire. Donations go to a designated local, non-profit charity or organization each month. This month’s charities are Independent Living Resources (ILR) and WAFER (food assistance programs). Last month we collected $73. Can we do even better?

On Friday, July 27, locate a building contact person to contribute, then collect a Jeans Day sticker. It is not necessary to wear jeans to participate. Remember, it’s not about the jeans, it’s about charities.
