In addition to welcoming new partners, JFC said, it will continue its support of its existing partners, including Make-A-Wish, Make-A-Wish India, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, and the Organization for Autism Research.
JFC said it gifted more than $1 million dollars to its partners in 2025.
“These partnerships allow us to support children in a truly holistic way, meeting critical needs while also creating moments of hope and opportunity,” said Sara Murphy, executive director of JFC.
“We are excited to grow alongside our long-time and new nonprofit partners, and the jewelry industry community that makes this work possible.”
JFC is also rolling out a brand refresh in 2026, which will include a new website set to launch in April, as well as an enhanced format for the organization’s annual fundraising event, “Facets.”
“Facets” will take place May 31 from 6 to 9 p.m. at The Venetian Resort in Las Vegas.
