Across the country, retailers hold promotions in their stores to benefit JFC charity partners including St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Make-A-Wish America, the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, and the National CASA/GAL Association, which recently awarded JFC for its positive impact.
JFC also supports Make-A-Wish International and the Organization for Autism Research.
Since its inception in 1999, JFC has donated more than $61 million through its partners.

Participants can sign up online and access a participation guide with resources on how to support the charity, as well as a link to a video news release about JFC Day that can be shared on social media, as well as with local media markets.

The charity also offers retailers the option to personalize the video by adding their logo.
"We are thrilled to invite all jewelers to join us in celebrating Jewelers for Children Day on Sept. 23," said JFC Executive Director David Rocha.
