Jewelers For Children Logo(NEW YORK) – Jewelers for Children (JFC) held their Facets of Hope event on Sunday August 29, in Las Vegas at the Venetian Resort. This year marked a return for the event which was cancelled in 2020 due to the pandemic.

“The past two years have certainly presented challenges to all of us in the industry,” said Debra Puzio, JFC board chair. “Having so many of our dedicated donors step up, both in 2020 with no event being held and this year with uncertainties still ahead, it’s been so gratifying to see the results of their support.”
