CLMS FBLA members participated in the 3rd Annual "Teens for Jeans" drive sponsored by Aeropostale. Team members created posters to promote the event, which collected jeans for homeless teens and helped to raise awareness of the reality of teen homelessness. The collection took place over a 2-week period, and despite flooding and snow, 156 pairs of jeans were collected. Throughout this event, CLMS FBLA members discovered that it is important for businesses to give and to help the local, and global, community. The first 100,000 pairs of jeans collected across participating schools in the U.S. went to Haiti, as did 100,000 new pairs donated by Aeropostale.
