Raymond Lee Jewelers Sponsoring Place of Hope’s 2013 Hope Bash!

Happy Friday, readers! You know we love to get into some fashion fun at the end of every week, and today we’re putting a different twist on it. What’s better than denim? Denim with diamonds, of course. And we’re ready to break out our favorite pair of blues for a cause close to our hearts: The 2013 Hope Bash, hosted by Elin Nordegren and Nicole Henry!

That’s right – that top secret photo shoot we gave you a sneak peek into was held in our gorgeous Boca showroom featuring the lovely co-chairs of this amazing event. Says Nicole, “Having been involved with Place of Hope for five years, I had first-hand experience to see kids and young adults thrive in a way I had not known was possible. I am so invested in this program there was no way I could not agree to do all I can to further its efforts.”

Elin, meanwhile was introduced to this special organization by friends Nicole Henry and Erin Rossito. In her words, “As I listened to their incredible experiences, I became more and more intrigued about also being involved. I have been interested in Child Psychology for most of my life, and when I learned Place of Hope focuses on the psychological well being of foster children, I felt this organization was a very good fit for me.”

Our involvement is also more recent, and we’re so excited to support the great work that Place of Hope does every day. We decided to add this organization to our philanthropic partners after learning about the positive impact that Place of Hope has throughout the entirety of Palm Beach County. Place of Hope is dedicated to providing a stable and loving family environment for hurting children and their families. Throughout their 11 year history, Place of Hope has changed the lives of so many children, so when we saw a way that we could help, we gladly threw our support behind their most exciting event – the annual Hope Bash!

This year, the Hope Bash’s theme is “Jeans & Jewels: Palm Beach Nights,” planned for May 3, 2013, at PGA National Resort. Raymond Lee Jewelers is the exclusive jewelry sponsor for the event. Additional sponsors include Katherine Christoffers, Connie Frankino, Bud and Kathy Conlan, Dave Donten, BNY Mellon, Randy Macpherson and media sponsor Gulfstream Media Group.

We are so excited for this great event and to support this wonderful cause. We hope to see you join us in May, you can find out
