As a business started by an immigrant, our family truly feels blessed to have come to a country with so much opportunity for success. Our family feels a special obligation to "pay back" our communities by assisting with fund raising efforts that have the greatest impact on many of those living in our region. We chose the area of healthcare because this is something that affects us all. We also selected Fisher House because of the enormous contributions our members of the armed forces do for all of us in keeping us secure and free. Below are some of our recent activities in fund raising.

This is a non-profit group comprised of conservation-minded fishermen in the waters surrounding New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. The mission of the Fishermen's Conservation Association is to promote and sustain marine fisheries, their habitat and to assure access to those waterways. It also helps to keep local waterways clean, and assists with improving the healthcare of children. Leonardo Jewelers was proud to be a part of their fundraising efforts this year during their Manhattan Cup event.

Fisher House is a private-public partnership that provides shelter and support during a medical crisis for military families. It provides a “home away from home” while a loved one is receiving care. Fisher House depends on public donations to continue their important work. Leonardo Jewelers is proud to have played a small role in raising funds for this cause during a recent fund-raiser Fisher House held near Fort Monmouth, New Jersey. We urge you to contribute to this outstanding organization helping even more outstanding human beings that have put their lives on the line for all of us.
