New York—Jewelers for Children has unveiled the designs for the 2022 “Hope for the Holidays” program, which gives companies the chance to show their support for children in need while raising money for JFC.
This year, the cards are available in both traditional and e-card formats, an addition the charity said it hopes will broaden the appeal of the program.
As in years past, Hope for the Holidays features drawings made by children who have had their wishes granted by Make-A-Wish, which uses donations to make dreams come true for children facing life-threatening illnesses.

Hope for the Holidays also includes an honor donation program, and contribution cards and inserts.
For the honor donation program, companies can submit a list of gift recipients. JFC will print and send cards to everyone on the list, noting that a donation has been made in their honor by the donor company.
Contribution cards can also be purchased and personalized, as can contribution card inserts, which can be used with other cards.
JFC said a number of companies in the industry use the honor donation program to send letters to their customers and suppliers asking that in lieu of holiday gifts, a donation be made in the company’s honor to JFC. The charity provides suggested language for a letter and customized donation forms.
Information on purchasing holiday cards, contribution cards and inserts, and the honor donation program can be found on the JFC website, or by calling 212-687-2949.
