Jeans for Genes Day raises money for the Children's Medical Research Institute (CMRI) to research genetic diseases. Genes are like a recipe that make each person unique, yet similar to their families, since families share genes. Donations to Jeans for Genes help CMRI fix problems that can happen when genes are changed and bodies don't work the same. The presentation encourages support for Jeans for Genes Day to make a big difference in their research.

What is Jeans for Genes Day?

3. Genes are a bit like a recipe for making us!

4. These two cupcakes are similar but slightly
different. Can you see the difference?

5. We’re all very similar – but we are all
unique! What are your little differences?

6. Do you look like your family?

7. Just like cupcakes, we are made of
ingredients – We call them GENES
Families share their
genes – that’s why
you look like your
family!

8. What would happen if we put salt instead of
sugar in our cupcakes?

9. Our bodies are just the same. If we change
the ingredients, sometimes our bodies don’t
work quite the same.

10. The people at CMRI are trying to fix the things
that can go wrong in our bodies

11. Your donation to Jeans for Genes helps them
and makes a BIG difference!
