JFC to Honor Industry Members at Annual Fundraising Event
December 09, 07
Jewelers for Children (JFC) announced that it will be honoring Rolex Watch USA CEO Allen Brill and Fred Meyer Jewelers president Peter Engel at its annual Facets of Hope event.
Both men will serve as guests of honor at the event, with the responsibility of assisting JFC in raising funds to benefit children who are victims of catastrophic illness or life-threatening abuse and neglect.
In 2007, H. Marvin Beasley of Helzberg Diamonds and Lee Michael Berg of Lee Michaels Fine Jewelers were honored and $4.7 million was pledged to JFC’s charity partners.
The Facets of Hope event, to take place at the new venue of the Venetian Resort Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, will be on June 1, 2008 and will culminate JFC’s fundraising campaign for the year.
The fundraising effort will officially kick off in January of 2008. Those interested in sponsoring can find complete information on the JFC website, www.jewelersforchildren.org, or by contacting JFC at 212-687-2949.
