Who doesn't want to wear jeans to work? I mean, for those of us stuck in the rut of business casual dress codes, a jeans day is a chance to shake things up and sit comfortably all day long. The only thing better than your average jeans day is one that also benefits a great cause, like say, Simon Youth Foundation.
As of April 7, 2011, SYF Jeans for Teens, or JFT, fundraisers supported by Simon Property Group employees have already raised nearly $5,000. For a five-dollar donation to SYF, employees at SPG headquarters are able to break free of business casual on five selected dates each year by wearing their jeans into the office. We are grateful for their support!
In recognition of their willingness to support JFT, our SYF team and some students representing Indianapolis-area Simon Youth Academies hosted a thank-you luncheon for the volunteers who coordinate selling JFT event tickets on each floor of the SPG building. The students spoke about the impact of SYF on their lives, and SYF provided free boxed lunches to attendees, which were donated by Jug's Catering.
