Two IWR supporters are organizing a Fall jewelry sale to benefit Ithaca Welcomes Refugees. The sale will take place on Saturday, November 30 from 10 a.m.–4 p.m. in the community room at the First Baptist church of Ithaca. Jewelry donations are now being collected for the sale.
Below, please find a message from the organizers:
Yvonne Fogarty and Debbie BenzerGreetings all,
Please let us introduce ourselves, Yvonne Fogarty and Debbie Benzer. We are organizing a fundraising jewelry sale to take place November 30th, 2024 to benefit Ithaca Welcomes Refugees.
All jewelry sold at the sale is gently used and donated by people like you. EVERYONE has jewelry they don’t wear anymore or inherited and never wore! What a wonderful way to pass it on to fund an organization that works so hard to help settle refugees into our community.
If you or your friends have jewelry to donate, this is an excellent time to get it cleaned and organized.
We accept all items, such as necklaces, earrings, bracelets, hair pins and barrettes, rings, pins, tie pins, watches, ankle bracelets, cuff links, and anything I’ve forgotten!
If you have the inclination… it is lovely to have the items separated by category in whatever containers you choose, ex: bags, small boxes etc. Necklaces can be tied with a twist tie, so they don’t get tangled. If you are donating items that are more valuable, PLEASE include a note alerting us to them so they can be priced accordingly. We work with jewelers to appraise them. We do have places that buy random pieces of gold or silver, ex: broken chains or only one earring from a pair.
There are a number of ways for you to get jewelry to us so give one of us a call and we can figure out what works best for you.
This is the 10th year we have organized jewelry sales to benefit local or national non-profit organizations. It is always a fun event. If you’d like to work with us, please let us know.
Any Questions? Please call Yvonne at 607 592-2799 or Debbie at 607 279-7174.
Thank you all in advance!!!
