(PRESS RELEASE) NEW YORK — 2021 will mark the 13th year that Jewelers on the Fairway has united jewelry industry golfers to support a needed charity. To date, the event has raised over $500,000 for Hope & Heroes, a charity supporting cutting-edge research and the families of patients who need pediatric hematology, oncology and stem cell transplantation at the Columbia University Irving Medical Center. The center treats more than 1,500 patients each year, ensuring that every child has access to high quality, comprehensive care.
This year also marks the addition of support for the Diamond Industry Career Foundation, a charity directing funds to jewelry industry families in India who have been directly affected by Covid-19. Support is provided to unemployed individuals in the diamond industry, diamond merchants and qualified applicants, providing them food, education and medical insurance.
The event, which takes place on Monday, July 26, 2021 at the Manhattan Woods Golf Club in West Nyack, NY is organized and co-chaired by Larry Gordon, LG Diamond Co/Shreeji Jewelry; Samir Mehta, Indigo Jewelry and Steven Lerche, Goldstar Jewellery.
