Thank you Jewelers For Children for the $6,000 grant
to sponsor 8 year old Thomas from Green River, whose
wish was to go to Walt Disney World®. Jewelers
for Children (JFC) was created by the jewelry and diamond
industry with the mission of raising funds for charities
that primarily benefit children. Since 1999, JFC has
helped the Make-A-Wish Foundation grant more than 1,100
wishes through the Wish A State program founded in cooperation
with JFC and Jewelers of America. Through the generosity
of the Walt Disney Company, Thomas experienced his fondest
wish to visit the Walt Disney World® Resort.
