Jeans for Genes

Lowes is proud to once again partner with the Children’s Medical Research Institute’s 
Jeans for Genes campaign, helping to raise vital funds for research into childhood 
genetic diseases.
Since the beginning of our partnership, we are incredibly proud to have raised more than 
$2.5 million in support of this important cause.

Every minute, 12 babies are born with a genetic disease or birth defect. Through our 
ongoing support of Jeans for Genes, we’re helping researchers at the Children’s Medical 
Research Institute advance groundbreaking research, develop better treatments, and 
work towards life-changing medical breakthroughs for affected children and their 
families.

How you can support 
From 9 July to 10 September 2026, Lowes will donate $10 from every denim item sold
to Jeans for Genes.
Customers can also make a donation at the register, with every contribution helping to 
fund critical genetic research and provide hope for families impacted by genetic 
disease.

Meet Spencer
One of the many children inspiring this year’s campaign is Spencer, who was diagnosed 
with Duchenne muscular dystrophy at just four years old. This life-limiting genetic 
condition causes progressive muscle weakness and currently has no cure.
Spencer’s family hopes that ongoing research will not only improve outcomes for 
children living with Duchenne but also create a brighter future for generations to come. 
By supporting Jeans for Genes, you’re helping fund the research that makes this hope 
possible.

Making a difference together
At Lowes, we believe in supporting the communities we serve. Every denim purchase 
and donation made during the campaign helps fund critical research and brings us one 
step closer to a future where more children can live healthier, fuller lives.
When you shop denim at Lowes between 9 July and 10 September, you’ll be doing 
more than updating your wardrobe, you’ll be helping change lives.
Together, we can make a real difference for children and families affected by genetic 
disease
