Last week, Jewelers of America and Jewelers for Children urged members of the jewelry trade to join them in donating funds to support Haiti relief efforts. The associations pledged to match contributions made between January 15th and 25th, at JFC’s website, up to a total of $30,000.  After ten days of donations, the organizations have raised a total of $111,280.

JFC will distribute the contributions to the Haiti relief funds of the following reputable organizations:

• Direct Relief International
• Save the Children
• The American Red Cross International Response Fund

Special thanks for notable donations belong to Sterling Jewelers, Tiny Jewel Box, Hearts on Fire, Richline Group, Hamilton Jewelers, Centurion Jewelry Shows, Diamonds-USA and the employees of Ben Bridge Jeweler.
