125 Acts of Kindness
As we celebrated our 125th anniversary as a family business in 2023 we made a collaborative decision to donate to 125 worthy organizations. Some of these contributions were important sponsorships, others were donations of our valuable jewelry, watches and gifts for silent or live auctions, all helping with the necessary resources to further the missions of our non-profit community. In a few cases, it was a random act of kindness for an event or situation that came to our attention. Fortunately, many of our fantastic staff members have been contributing their own time and energy to these worthwhile endeavors.
With our historic business anniversary, we worked closely with our staff and our partners acquiring unique or one-of-a-kind items dedicated to our 125 years of design and value. A percentage of these sales will benefit our beloved community organizations namely, Memorial Sloan Kettering, Alzheimer's Association, Friends of the Israel Defense Forces, Red Cross, Jewelers for Children, Love Your Brain Foundation, Feeding America, Connecticut Food Share & Greater Boston Food Bank, Where Angels Play Foundation, Boston Red Sox Foundation and Wounded Warrior Project. Here we highlight a few of these exclusive and limited-edition items, some of which will still be available.
Giving Back
Throughout our history, from the wisdom framed from our great grandfather, M.A. Green, giving back and community spirit was a family value. Each generation of Green’s has had their own stories and preferences for contributions, with community as a cornerstone. During our 4th generation, Marc and I hosted an annual golf tournament for many years, raising over $200,000 for local charities including the Connecticut Children's Hospital. We were also honorees at the annual Jewelers for Children gala where our family raised over $500,000 supporting Jewelers For Children, The National CASA Foundation, The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, St Jude’s Children's Research Hospital and Make-A-Wish Foundation.
We thank the communities we serve and our staff for building a strong tradition of giving.
