Fundraising Tips

Jeans Day in schools or corporate environments

• The concept is that individuals pay a fee to wear jeans or more casual attire on a designated day.  All fees will be donated to SSIS.  In a school environment, it is best to schedule this day in late spring of the previous year or early fall of the current school year.

• We suggest you hold the day in May, which is Better Hearing and Speech Month, as well as the month in which Memorial Day is observed.
