If you are like me you probably live your life in jeans and if you don't yet, try some slimming jeans and you will be hooked. That is why it is a joy to celebrate the Lee National Denim Day. In case you didn't know it is the country's largest single-day fundraisers for breast cancer--which benefits the Women's Cancer Programs of the Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF). And who is the ambassador for this day? Emmy Award-winning actress Mariska Hargitay.

In her role as ambassador, Hargitay will appear in a public service campaign encouraging people to wear denim on Friday, October 5th in exchange for a $5 donation to the Women's Cancer Programs of EIF. Funds will go to groundbreaking early detection and treatment research for breast cancer, as well as support grassroots advocacy services for the disease. Since the creation of Denim Day eleven years ago, more than $65 million has been raised for the cause. Thank you Mariska.
