Jewelry.com Makes Helping Kids Just a Click Away

Jewelry.com is reaching out to the industry in an appeal to help raise funds to aid kids in need. Visitors to www.jewelry.com/child-in-need/jfc_ticker.html who click on one of the retailers featured will trigger a 10 cent donation from the website to Jewelers For Children (JFC), the U.S. jewelry industry’s children's charity.

It is hoped a flood of clicks will show giant retailers the power of giving and they may even decide to donate a large sum to the children's charities who aid children with catastrophic illness or life-threatening abuse and neglect.

In addition, all visitors to www.jewelry.com/child-in-need/index.html who make a donation to the charity will have the sum matched by the online jeweler.

Manufacturers of jewelry and watches, retail jewelers, trade organizations, watch companies and those who provide professional services to the jewelry industry have contributed to the JFC, with almost $14 million allocated to JFC charity partners since 1999. 

The charity partners include the Make-A-Wish Foundation of America®, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital®, the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, National CASA Association (Court Appointed Special Advocates) and Make-A-Wish Foundation International in support of a special program in India.
