Just Fore You Jewelry donating to Camp Siberia Charity Auction WorldGolf.com
BAINBRIDGE ISLAND, Wash. -- Just Fore You Jewelry, maker of designer-fashioned, elegant golf-inspired jewelry, will donate several pieces of its handmade jewelry to the Camp Siberia charity auction, to be held Feb. 27 at Kiana Lodge in Poulsbo, Wash. The funds raised at the auction will be used to support Camp Siberia, a not-for-profit organization based on Bainbridge Island, Wash., that provides leadership development to Northwest youth while conducting an American-style summer camp for Russian orphans in the countryside outside Novosibirsk, Russia.
"It is an honor to help support this worthy effort," said Lucia Olson, CEO/Designer of Just Fore You Jewelry. "Our local teens compete for a select number of spots on the counselor team, and each year we have an outstanding group of teens representing us to the people of Russia."
In addition to the summer camp, Camp Siberia provides financial support, mentoring and life-skills training for Russian orphans as they 'age out' of the orphanages. Funds for the program are raised through the annual auction.
"We are delighted to have the contribution of some pieces from Just Fore You Jewelry for our charity auction," said Ellin Spenser, president of the board of Camp Siberia (www.campsiberia.org). "The jewelry is so beautiful, I'm sure it will be a big draw. All the money raised will be used to provide these Russian children with training and education to enable them to live productive lives after they leave the orphanage.
"We greatly appreciate the support of community members, parents, artists and business people like Lucia Olson of Just Fore You Jewelry. Without their help, we would be unable to assist the kids we've come to love, and their prospects for the future would be grim."
