(PRESS RELEASE) LAS VEGAS, NV — The beloved Jewelers on the Fairway charity golf outing is celebrating its 15th year with a brand-new setting—Cascata Golf Club in Las Vegas—on Thursday, June 5th, 2025. Formerly held in New York for the past 14 years, this premier industry event continues its legacy of uniting the jewelry world for a day of golf, networking, and giving back.

This year’s event is being led by Steven Lerche, President of Goldstar, and Mathew Behnam, President of Everspark. Originally founded by jewelry veterans Samir Mehta and Larry Gordon, Jewelers on the Fairway remains a favorite tradition among retailers, vendors, and industry professionals.

Proceeds will benefit Hope and Heroes, a nonprofit committed to advancing pediatric cancer research and care.

Set at the spectacular Cascata Golf Club, one of Nevada’s most stunning and exclusive courses, players will experience world-class golf surrounded by mountain vistas, waterfalls, and pristine greens. The event will kick off with an 8:00 AM shotgun start, allowing attendees time to enjoy the course and still make their way to the Luxury Show or prepare for the opening of JCK Las Vegas the following day.

INSTORE Magazine will serve as the official media sponsor of this year’s event, helping shine a spotlight on the spirit of collaboration and philanthropy within the jewelry industry.

“Bringing this outing to Las Vegas during Jewelry Week opens the door for more industry members to take part in something fun and meaningful,” said Mathew Behnam. “We’re excited to build on its legacy and raise funds for an incredible cause.”

Honoring a Legacy: How Smith & Son Jewelers Exceeded Every Goal With Wilkerson

When Andrew Smith decided to close the Springfield, Massachusetts location of Smith & Son Jewelers, the decision came down to family. His father was retiring after 72 years in the business, and Andrew wanted to spend more time with his children and soon-to-arrive grandchildren. For this fourth-generation jeweler whose great-grandfather founded the company in 1918, closing the 107-year-old Springfield location required the right partner. Smith chose Wilkerson, and the experience exceeded expectations from start to finish. "Everything they told me was 100% true," Smith says. "The ease and use of all their tools was wonderful." The consultants' knowledge and expertise proved invaluable. Smith and his father set their own financial goal, but Wilkerson proposed three more ambitious targets. "We thought we would never make it," Smith explains. "We were dead wrong. We hit our first goal, second goal and third goal. It was amazing." Smith's recommendation is emphatic: "I would never be able to do what they did by myself."
