(PRESS RELEASE) Earlier this year, Citizen Watch America announced the Big Hearts, Little Hands initiative, dedicating a portion of online sales from Citizen and Bulova watches to Jewelers for Children, an organization founded by the U.S. jewelry industry with the mission of helping children in need.

“Citizen Watch America continues to be a proud supporter of Jewelers for Children,” says Jeffrey Cohen, president of Citizen Watch America. “We are thrilled to announce this contribution in support of the organization and to give back to the children and families.” From April 1st through June 30th, Citizen Watch America donated 10% of proceeds from each Citizen and Bulova watch sale made on their respective e-commerce websites. As a result of the initiative, Citizen Watch America was able to donate a total of $100,000, that will help children in need and their families by supporting trusted non-profits like St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Make-A-Wish America, Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, National CASA Association and more.

“This year has presented challenges for the entire jewelry industry, says David Rocha of Jewelers for Children.” Having Citizen step up with this amazing promotion helps Jewelers for Children continue the life-changing support we provide to our charity partners. We are humbled and so thankful for Citizen’s extremely generous support.”

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
