1. Support Lee Laboratories nationwide, which work to find more effective, less toxic treatments for breast cancer.
2. Fund EIF’s Biomarker Discovery Project, a multi-year effort to develop a blood test for earlier detection of breast cancer
3. Create resources with the National Breast Cancer Coalition to offer individuals with breast cancer evidence-based information, and train advocates
4. And this year, funds will also support Applegate’s newly launched foundation Right Action for Women.

Emmy Award-winning actress Christina Applegate, star of ABC’s hit sitcom Samantha Who?, returns as the 2009 ambassador for Lee National Denim Day, one of the country’s largest single-day fundraisers for breast cancer, benefiting the Women’s Cancer Programs of the Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF).

Denim Day is a simple yet powerful program – you are teaming up with millions people who have participated over the past 13 years, and all those donations have totaled more than $75 million. With your help, we hope to raise more money and reach more people this year than ever before.

All you have to do is wear your jeans on Friday, October 2 and donate $5 to the Women’s Cancer Programs of the Entertainment Industry Foundation and Right Action for Women. You can sign up with your office, with a group of friends or with your family. We look forward to wearing our jeans with you and reshaping the fight against breast cancer!
