Leading Firms JFC Among Rings of Strength Sponsors

(IDEX Online News) – With just over a month until the industry gathers in Las Vegas, the countdown to the second edition of the Jewelers for Children Rings of Strength Tour is well underway.

Current sponsors of the fundraiser include Tag Heuer, JCK Events, Rio Tinto Diamonds, Blue Nile, Brinks, The Harmon Group, Jewelry Creations, Coast Diamonds, Leo Schachter Diamonds, Malca-Amit, and Freeman.

The event will raise funds for Jewelers for Children charity partners.

Participants can bike either a 50 kilometer route through Red Rock Canyon or take a less challenging 15 kilometer route along surface roads in defined bike lanes. Those without wheels can run or walk a five kilometer route along the Las Vegas Strip.

The event will begin at 5:30 am to avoid the heat of the day.

Participants can visit www.ringsofstrength.org to sign up for the event, which takes place on May 29.

Jewelers for Children was founded in 1999 by the US jewelry industry with the mission of helping children in need. Since its inception, JFC has donated nearly $43 million to programs benefiting children whose lives have been affected by illness, abuse or neglect.
