For Children's Day, JFC's charity partners will show how support from the jewelry industry has made a difference in the lives of children in need, and have agreed to help generate publicity for Children's Day nationwide.

As part of this, JFC is making materials, such as templates for local press releases, media alerts and customers notifications, available so jewelers everywhere can publicize Children's Day, according to the release.

Anyone interested in celebrating or in sponsorship can contact JFC at (212) 687-2949 or e-mail info@jewelersforchildren.org.

Details and presentation forms are available on the JFC Web site, JewelersForChildren.org.

Founded in 1999 by the U.S. jewelry industry, JFC has donated more than $30 million to programs benefiting children whose lives have been affected by illness, abuse or neglect through charity partners including St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Autism Speaks, the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation and the National CASA Association.
