Jeans Day 2026
On April 29, Riverside University Health System will join organizations across the country in recognizing Sexual Assault Awareness Month through a Jeans Day event. This day invites all staff to stand in solidarity with survivors and help raise awareness about the ongoing impact of sexual violence in our communities. By contributing $10, employees may wear jeans or blue scrubs or blue as a visible show of support and a reminder that compassion, advocacy, and education are essential parts of our mission.
Your participation does more than change a dress code for a day, it helps strengthen a culture where survivors feel seen, believed, and supported. We encourage every team, department, and unit to take part, spark conversations, and demonstrate RUHS’s commitment to creating a safer, more informed community. Thank you for helping us turn a simple gesture into meaningful awareness and collective action. All proceeds from this campaign will benefit the RUHS Foundation.
