BLIND DOG ASSOCIATION

• Fundraising is a fun and rewarding way for schools, clubs, community groups and individuals to support
the work of Guide Dogs. With minimal Government funding, they rely on the support of the community to
breed, raise and train Guide Dogs and provide vital services to Australians who are blind or vision
impaired.

JEANS FOR GENES
• Jeans for Genes is the iconic fundraising campaign of Children’s Medical Research Institute. On the first
Friday in August each year, Australians unite by wearing their favourite jeans and outdoing each other with
crazy denim outfits, and donating money or purchasing merchandise, to support genetic research. Most
babies are born healthy, but sadly 1 in 20 children is born with a birth defect or genetic disease. On average,
that’s one in every classroom.
• Children’s Medical Research Institute is dedicated to finding ways to treat or prevent childhood cancer,
epilepsy, birth defects and genetic diseases in order to create brighter futures for all children.
• Many major advances in children’s health have resulted from medical research including the demise of
previously fatal illness like polio, smallpox & diphtheria so, together, we really can make a difference & give
kids around the world the opportunity for a healthy start to life.
