URBANA -- Workers dressed down for a good cause Friday. It was for the 10th Annual It's All In The Jeans Day.

More than 5,000 people celebrated casual Friday by donning denim. You had to donate $5 to support breast cancer awareness, which is a disease that hits many people close to home.

At Provena Covenant, organizers have also been selling clothes to make money for breast cancer research. They usually raise about $35,000 each year for Jeans Day.
