Public voting on the Jewelers for Children Facebook page (www.facebook.com/JewelersforChildren) will determine the top ten vote-getters to receive the grants.
“We were pleased to hear about the program,” says David Craig Rotenberg of David Craig Jewelers. “It was such an easy way to help support the excellent work Mission Kids and Vetri Foundation do locally to improve the quality of life for the less fortunate youth of our community. Now, we’re trying to get the word out to the public to vote so Mission Kids and Vetri Foundation receive these generous grants.”
