JFC Encourages Honor Donations with Children Design Holiday Cards

This year’s program features three holiday card designs drawn by children representing the National CASA Association and the Make-A-Wish Foundation of America. A new design for the contribution recognition cards has also been introduced featuring a smiling snowman family drawn by a nine year-old St. Jude patient identified only as Jessie.

“Participating is so simple and in addition to helping children in need,” said JFC CEO Jonathan Goldman.

Honor donation programs are conducted by a number of companies in the industry who send letters to their customers and suppliers asking that in lieu of holiday gifts, a donation be made in their honor to JFC.

The honor donation program can be utilized by anyone in the industry to easily complete their gift-giving for the season and support children in need. JFC provides suggested language for a letter and customized donation forms.

Information on purchasing holiday cards, contribution cards and inserts, and the honor donation program can be found on JFC’s website at www.jewelersforchildren.org, or by calling 212-687-2949.

Jewelers for Children was founded in 1999 by the U.S. jewelry industry with the mission of helping children in need. Since its inception, JFC has donated more than $35 million to programs benefiting children whose lives have been affected by illness, abuse, or neglect through our charity partners St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, the Make-A-Wish Foundation of America, the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, Autism Speaks and the National CASA Association.

JFC also provides support to the Make-A-Wish Foundation International, and the Santa-America Fund. This nationwide success is due to the continuing generosity of jewelry trade organizations, jewelry and watch manufacturing companies, jewelry retail stores, individual jewelry professionals, and jewelry consumers.
