City wears denim for breast-cancer research
GLENDALE CITY HALL -- Denim-clad city employees lent a helping
hand to breast-cancer research Friday by participating in Lee
National Denim Day.
In conjunction with organizations across the United States, city
employees wore jeans, jean shirts and other denim wear Friday after
giving a $5 donation to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.
Each participating employee received a pink ribbon to wear with their
denim attire.
Last year, city employees raised more than $2,000 for the
foundation, which has received more than $30 million nationwide over
the past six years for Denim Day.
