November Designated ‘Jewelers for Veterans Month’
February 15, 15
(IDEX Online News) – November has been designated “Jewelers for Veterans” month by the Jewelers for Veterans Foundation. The organization, which was founded in 2012, has set a fundraising goal of $150,000 for the month, which will be used to help military veterans find jobs in the jewelry industry.
“November 2015 and every November thereafter is now officially Jewelers for Veterans month – highlighted by the observance of Veterans Day,” said Jewelers For Veterans Foundation Ralph Destino.
“Every jeweler in America is being asked to show their support for our returning vets and help provide these warriors with a pathway to economic success in an industry where they can put their skills to good use.”
The organization is asking retail and manufacturing jewelers to commit to the Jewelers for Veterans month promotional effort by supporting this campaign and displaying a framed placard, a POS display and a donation can in their offices and stores.
The initiative will be kicked off with a launch event at the upcoming JCK Las Vegas show.
