COLDWATER — Every other year the CHC Volunteers partners with Kiess Jewelry to dazzle employees, physicians and volunteers with jewels that they normally might not have time or funds to purchase, but because special priced items are offered at a discount, they can. Kiess then generously donates 25 percent of their total gross sales back to CHC. During the sale this past spring, Kiess Jewelry donated $3,600 to CHC, making them a $10,000 donor since they first started partnering for the sale.
The donation is first given to the CHC Volunteers. Then each year the Volunteers donate a lump sum of their earnings throughout the year from a variety of sales, fundraisers and gift shop purchases back to CHC. This year they were able to donate $30,000, which CHC uses to provide necessary equipment to benefit patients and visitors.
CHC is happy to partner with Kiess Jewelry who has been very active in the community since 1930 and has been a long-time supporter of the hospital.
