This fall, we are delighted to see the return of the much-loved jewelry sale fundraiser in aid of IWR, organized by volunteers Debbie Benzer, Yvonne Fogarty and their wonderful team. The sale will take place on November 22, 2025 in the First Baptist Church of Ithaca. All proceeds will go to IWR programs supporting recently arrived refugees and immigrants in Tompkins County. The organizers are now requesting donations of gently used jewelry for the sale. For details of how to donate, see below:
Greetings all,
Please let me introduce us, Debbie Benzer and Yvonne Fogarty. We are organizing another fundraising jewelry sale to take place November 22, 2025 to benefit Ithaca Welcomes Refugees.
All the jewelry sold at the sale is gently used and donated by people like you. EVERYONE has jewelry they don’t wear anymore or inherited and never wore! In light of the new administration, Ithaca Welcomes Refugees is in need of our support more than ever!
This is the 11th year we have organized jewelry sales to benefit local or national non-profit organizations.
To organize, drop off or pickup of donated jewelry, please call Debbie at 607 279-7174 (Dpbenzer@twcny.rr.com) or Yvonne 607-592-2799.
Thank you all in advance!!!
