East Tennessee's JTV® Partners with Make-A-Wish to Raise Funds for Children with Critical Illnesses
National jewelry retailer launches exclusive ‘Stars Like You’ jewelry collection and giving campaign
Knoxville, TN (November 13, 2023) – JTV®, the national jewelry retailer and broadcast network, is delighted to announce a new partnership with Make-A-Wish® to help raise funds for children with critical illnesses. Alongside the largest wish-granting organization in the country, JTV has curated an exclusive jewelry collection for purchase with profits going toward life-changing wishes for children – creating an opportunity for hope and the ability to experience life beyond illness.
Now through February 12, 2024, when customers shop the ‘Stars Like You’ jewelry collection, JTV will donate 20% of the selling price to Make-A-Wish. JTV shoppers can also elect to donate to Make-A-Wish with any purchase and will receive a special discount on designated days. The giving campaign will include offers such as 5% off one item with a $5.00 donation and 10% off one item with a $10.00 or more donation.
“It is an honor to begin this partnership with Make-A-Wish and support their deeply important mission,” said Tim Matthews, President and CEO of JTV. “The beautiful star-shaped pieces in our ‘Stars Like You’ collection celebrate the iconic Make-A-Wish logo and its symbol of hope and brightness. With the help of our loyal JTV customers, we have the chance to touch hearts and bring joy to children across the country.”
Make-A-Wish aims to bring hope and joy to children living with critical illnesses. Since its inception in 1980, the organization has granted more than 360,000 wishes in the U.S. Research shows that children who have wishes granted build the physical and emotional strength they need to fight a critical illness.
“We’re honored to partner with JTV to bring more joy to our wish kids this holiday season because a wish can be a pivotal moment in a child’s healing journey,” said LuAnn Bott, vice president of revenue partnerships and services at Make-A-Wish America. “There’s a gap between the number of wishes we’re granting and wishes waiting, making JTV’s support critical to reach our goal of granting the wish of every eligible child.”
