In October, Jewels By Jules was called and asked to make jewelry for a fundraiser to be held in Toms River, New Jersey on November 22, 2008. After talking with a representative of the fundraiser and sharing pictures and ideas for bracelets and cost, a leather cord bracelet was selected for this wonderful event. Jodi, owner of Jewels By Jules, made 45 Greek leather cord bracelets, all hand twisted and wire wrapped, with each bracelet having a Swarovski crystal heart pendant. All bracelets were made at wholesale cost for materials, and Jodi donated her time when making the bracelets.
In addition to the donated bracelets, Jewels By Jules will take orders for bracelets through November 30, 2008 at a cost of $35 each with $5 being donated to the Food Pantry (shipping cost is included in this price).
A representative for the fundraiser contributed this information regarding the upcoming event:
“At North Dover Elementary School, in Toms River, NJ their yearly fund raiser, to be held on November 22, will be giving back to several local charitable organizations. Each year approximately 450 people attend the PTO organized event to help raise monies for the school purchasing items to benefit the students.
This year everyone attending will be bringing a non-perishable food item to be donated to the Food Pantry at the House of House. The Food Pantry’s volunteers take care of collecting and making up packages that are given out to the clients of the House of Hope who are in need of help. In thanks for their donation a specially designed leather bracelet bearing an orange, symbolic for hunger relief, Swarovski crystal heart will be given out to 45 lucky winners.
In addition a portion of the events proceeds will also be donated to “Oceans of Love” a non-profit, charitable organization dedicated to helping Ocean County children with cancer and their families and “Autism Speaks” an organization who is dedicated to funding global biomedical research into the causes, prevention, treatments, and cure for autism; to raising public awareness about autism and its effects on individuals, families, and society; and to bringing hope to all who deal with the hardships of this disorder.”
