JFC, a non-profit organization founded by the jewelry industry in 1999 is dedicated to helping children in need. Jewelers were asked to nominate their favorite local organization. Public voting on the Jewelers for Children Facebook page determined the charities to receive the grants.
“We are so excited to be able to help Matthew’s Giving Tree,” says Kay of Kay Cameron Jewelers. “It was such an easy way to help support the excellent work Matthew’s Giving Tree does locally to help children in our community. Now, through our work with Jewelers for Children, we are able to help Matthew’s Giving Tree receive one of these generous grants.”
Voting began on October 9, and concluded on October 16. More than 15,000 people were motivated to visit the Jewelers for Children Facebook page and vote for their favorite, local charity. Kay Cameron Jewelers worked in conjunction with Matthew’s Giving Tree to encourage people to vote. Their success was evident.
