Fundraiser Program
Our commitment to our community runs deep, which is why we are proud to offer our Fundraiser Jewelry Program. Through this initiative, we've been able to collaborate with and donate to numerous worthy organizations.
Every year, we select a handful of nonprofits located in the Upper Peninsula and create a custom silver pendant for each of them that can be purchased both in-store and online. We donate a portion from every piece of jewelry sold back to the organization.
To date, we've been able to give back over $53,000 to local nonprofits! Applications for our Fundraiser Program are now closed, but if you are a nonprofit based in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, be sure to sign up for our newsletter for a notification when we reopen applications in the first quarter of the year.
