Fruchtman Marketing will sponsor an interactive fundraising opportunity for American Gem Society Conclave attendees, April 1 – 4, at the Hyatt Regency Chicago. Conclave attendees are invited to “Pop-a-Shot” using an arcade-style basketball game; each basket earns $1 for Jewelers For Children.

Ellen Fruchtman, president of Fruchtman Marketing, said the fundraiser is the result of recent media reports linking the falling economy to the rising number of child abuse cases,

“Our goal is 1,000 baskets, but regardless of Conclave attendees’ hoop skills, we’ll present Jewelers For Children with a check for $1,000 at the conclusion of Conclave,” said Ellen Fruchtman. “As the chair of the Jewelers For Children Auction Committee, I’m thrilled to support such a worthy cause and worthy charity in a unique and exciting way. I hope to hear a lot of “nothing but net” over the course of the four days.”

Conclave attendees with hoop dreams should visit the Fruchtman Marketing booth located in the Networking Area on the Gold Level of the Hyatt Regency Chicago. While there, attendees can also take advantage of a special “trial size” Fruchtman Marketing offer. Through April 30, Fruchtman Marketing is available for hire on a project-by-project basis. Normally, the company’s services require an annual contract. Plus, with an annual commitment, new clients will receive one free month of agency services.

Companies or individuals interested in donating a product, service, or cash in support of Jewelers For Children and the Conclave auction, should visit the American Gem Society Web site for more information and to download a donation form.
