Why We’re Supporting Jeans for Genes

The Goulburn and Surrounds Committee started in 2018 by Caroline and Simon Greig, who at the time lived in Goulburn (since moved to Taralga) as we wanted to 'do something for others'.

Eight years on we continue to raise funds for a highly worthy cause.

We have four events during the year:(1) Jeans4Genes Mufti gear wear to School for some 24 State schools between Windellama to Crookwell, Gunning to Wingello on 8 August;(2) Dress4Denim Challenge were we ask staff and owners of businesses in the Goulburn, Crookwell and Gunning area to wear Denim to work and donate a bluey ($10) for the pleasure, in August;(3) Dance4Denim Line Dancing at Taralga on 9 August and pay a small entry fee;(4) The Taralga Fun Ferret Races that are a blast of fun and laughs - bet on a ferret and you have a 1:5 chance of winning!  18 October at the Taralga Sports Club.

If you'd like to keep informed, please join our team and make a donation for which we and the researchers, scientists and children at the Children's Medical Research Institute will be grateful.

Thank you
