NY – Jewelry for a Cause was born out of my own family life. Giving gifts has always been a challenge in my family \u2013 my father won\u2019t even accept a gift that is not a donation to a worthy cause. \u00a0Which inspired me to create Jewelry for a Cause<\/a><\/strong>. What started small and close to home quickly became more widespread and to date Jewelry for a Cause\u00a0is proud to have raised over $300,000 for a wide variety of amazing causes<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n
