A Brand New Feature at Jeans and Jewels in 2025! Two Gifts, One Purpose.
How does it work?
The Foundation works with members of the community to identify potential non-profit organizations in Dunn County who would greatly benefit from a large donation of tangible items to support their purpose.
GEM Donors: In coordination with the Foundation, generous individuals, groups or businesses select an identified non-profit organization and assemble a package of $500 worth of tangible items to be displayed for sponsorship at the Gala. These charitable donations can be in honor or in memory of a loved one if the donor so chooses.
GEM Sponsors: Gala attendees may sponsor a featured GEM package for $500 to complete the delivery of the GEM packages to their appreciative recipients. These matching contributions directly support the Foundation’s ongoing grants and programs aimed at enhancing our community. This philanthropic sponsorship can be in honor or memory of a loved one if the sponsor so chooses.
After the Gala, The Foundation will deliver each GEM Package to the appropriate recipient. By working together with our generous Donors and Sponsors, this year’s “BE A GEM” event will raise $3,000 for the Foundation and deliver well over $3,000 of much needed goods into the community.
