MERRIAM, KS, October 3, 2014 /3BL Media/ – Lee® Jeans encourages people to celebrate Lee National Denim Day today by putting on their jeans and donating $5 to the American Cancer Society’s fight against breast cancer. Lee National Denim Day has focused on raising money for the Society’s life-saving breast cancer research and support programs since 1996. Denim Day has raised more than $91 million to date, and today Lee Jeans hopes to add millions more to that total.

With the American Cancer Society as Denim Day’s beneficiary, funds raised will support critical screenings in communities nationwide; provide a free place to stay for those traveling away from home for cancer treatment; and invest in groundbreaking cancer research. Breast cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer death among women, with more than 232,000 women expected to be diagnosed in 2014 with about 40,000 deaths.
