Charitable Attire

Want to wear jeans to work? That’s the big question now being asked by the Washington Wizards (601 F Street), which is inviting companies to participate in its First Annual Wizards Care Jeans Day through Friday, March 27. The fundraiser, to benefit the Capital Area Food Bank, encourages employees to wear jeans to work (or no ties, business casual attire, etc.—whatever a company decides).

In return for the privilege, an employee donates $5 or more to Wizards Care. Companies may also choose to host a series of jean days in March or even match employee donations. Participating companies donating funds by March 31 will receive 100 tickets to a future Wizards game and have their names splashed across the Jumbotron. Their names will also be listed on www.washingtonwizards.com. The Wizards will give a Chipotle Mexican Grill (601 F Street) gift card—worth at least $5 –to the first 2,000 people who donate. Additional prizes—including autographed memorabilia—will be given to companies that raise more than $500 and $1,000. All proceeds will go to the Capital Area Food Bank.
