Jewelers for Children Announces JFC Day 2021 June 29, 2021 (0 comments)
New York, NY – The fourth annual JFC Day will be held on Saturday, September 25, 2021. JFC Day is a day for all current supporters of Jewelers For Children and for potential new ones to celebrate the success of the industry’s support for children in need and raise visibility and funds for the charity.

During the inaugural JFC Day in 2018, retailers across the country ran promotions in their stores to celebrate the industry’s success of helping thousands of children through the JFC charity partners. The program has grown each year with support from companies like Day’s Jewelers, Reeds Jewelers and Wells Fargo.
The JFC Day celebration also gets support from the JFC charities, including the National CASA/GAL Association whose staff and volunteers from their local program across the country visit jewelers to say thanks.
“Coming out of the pandemic, we are all ready to get back to normal,” said Debra Puzio, JFC board chair. “JFC Day presents a unique opportunity for all of us to come together and recognize that issues like childhood illness and abuse and neglect are still occurring and children are one of our major priorities.”
Anyone can participate in JFC Day. Suppliers, retailers and consumers can help JFC recognize the accomplishment of raising more than $57 million to support kids. Suppliers can reach out to retail customers, asking them to participate in the initiative. Retailers will be asked to reach out to their customer base to educate them about JFC and invite them to participate in whatever activity the retailer has planned for September 25. Everyone will be asked to use their social media presence to promote the day, particularly on that Saturday to encourage nationwide exposure for the charity.
JFC has materials available to make it easier to participate. An idea-filled planning guide, as well as social media materials, sample emails, press releases, and videos are available on the JFC website. Below: The second JFC badge for 2021.
