Jewelers Mutual Insurance Co., is donating nearly $4000 to various charities through its partnership with Sarah’s Hope Jewelry.
From Nov. 1 until Dec. 14, the insurer will sponsor Hope for the Holidays, an essay contest accessible through its Perfect Circle personal jewellery insurance website and Facebook page.
Participants are asked to share what they would do with $1000 given to charity. The public will be allowed to choose its favourites before a panel of judges casts its vote. The grand-prize winner receives $1000 for their charity of choice, as well as jewellery by Sarah’s Hope Jewelry. Runners-up get jewellery plus a $200 charitable donation.
“Beautiful jewellery and the holidays go hand in hand, but the real beauty comes in giving back to those less fortunate,” said Patrick Drummond, Jewelers Mutual’s vice-president of sales and marketing. “We put great value in charity and are honoured to work with Sarah’s Hope Jewelry again this year to lend a hand to those in need.”
Sarah’s Hope Jewelry helps provide microloans and small business training to women in impoverished situations throughout the world and the United States.
As part of Hope for the Holidays, Jewelers Mutual also supports Jewelers for Children. The insurer will purchase sets of holiday cards to give to the first 50 people who enter the contest.
If the Perfect Circle Facebook page reaches 25,000 ‘likes’ by Dec. 14, one Facebook fan will win Sarah’s Hope jewellery and a $200 donation to charity.
