Jewelers Mutual Insurance Company is asking consumers to help decide how to spend $2 million that it will donate to three causes this summer: health, home, and hunger. As part of its “Band Together” campaign, Jewelers Mutual is inviting the public to vote online for their nonprofit of choice.
From July 11-31, voters may cast daily ballots at JewelersMutual.com /BandTogether for Habitat for Humanity, Feeding America and Food Banks Canada, or St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Each nonprofit will receive a portion of the $2 million donation based on the number of votes it receives.
“Jewelers Mutual has a long legacy of supporting organizations that make lasting and positive changes in their communities,” said Scott Murphy, the president and chief executive officer at Jewelers Mutual. “But this year, we are pulling out all the stops and donating the biggest one-time gift in our history. Our business is thriving, and we're committed to helping people in need thrive, as well.”
The cause that receives the most votes by the end of July will receive the $1 million grand prize from Jewelers Mutual. The runner-up will get $700,000 and $300,000 will go to the third-place winner.
Jewelers Mutual will announce the winners and the vote totals on August 1.
“We want to make the world a better place, and each of us can have a part in helping people attain the essentials of life: food, shelter, and medical care,” Mr. Murphy said. “Our organizations participating in this competition work tirelessly to provide these critical services, so we're standing with them and asking everyone to voice their support.”
