JFC Offers Cleaning Kits to Raise Money for Children Causes

(IDEX Online News) - Jewelers for Children, the jewelry industry’s charity, collaborated with RAN Product Solutions and Maya Caroleena Jewelers, to offer a professional gem and jewelry care kit that retailers can sell or give to their customers at point of purchase.

The jewelry care kit contains everything a consumer needs to keep their jewelry in tip-top shape. Each kit comes with a concentrated cleaning solution packet, along with a basket, brush, cleaning and polishing cloths.

A case of 140 kits is offered for $695, $4.97 per kit. They include a tax-deductible $1.50 per unit donation to JFC, for a total of $210 per case. Jewelers can sell the kit for the suggested retail price of $9.99 or give them away to customers making purchases.

“Every jeweler has cleaner that they either sell or give to their customers. This is a great way to meet your customer’s needs and support Jewelers for Children at the same time,” said Terry Chandler, CEO of the Diamond Council of America and JFC Vice President for Special Programs. We are so fortunate to have folks like RAN Product Solutions and Nabil and Monda Abdallah involved in helping us raise money for children in need.”

JFC 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 its charity partners St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, the Make-A-Wish Foundation of America and the National CASA Association.

JFC also supports 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.
