13 Year-Old Draws JFC 2009 Holiday Card

Industry charity Jewelers for Children has unveiled their 2009 Hope for the Holidays program, which includes greeting cards, an honor donation program and contribution cards and inserts. All elements of the program have been produced from artwork created by children representing JFC’s charity partners.

This year’s program features three holiday card designs drawn by children representing St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and the National CASA Association. A new design for the contribution recognition cards has also been introduced featuring a happy snowman drawn by 13 year-old St. Jude patient Currie.

“The Jewelers for Children holiday cards are a terrific way for us to send holiday greetings,” says Ulrich Wohn, President of Tag-Heuer, North America. According to Wohn, this also raises the visibility of the charity.

In lieu of traditional holiday greetings, members of the jewelry industry can send holiday cards showing their support for the charity. There are also contribution recognition cards that can be purchased with a donation to JFC and sent to special contacts on everyone’s holiday list. Contribution card inserts are available as an option for use with any holiday card.

Diamond Direct have used the JFC donation card program for the past three years. “It's a great way for us to show our appreciation to our customers and support such an important cause at the same time,” says Diamond Direct Director of Marketing Sheryl Silberg.

Honor donation programs are conducted by companies 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 program is open to anyone in the industry.
