Kay® Jewelers, the number one jewelry store in America, and
American Humane, the country’s first national humane organization,
have announced a partnership that will benefit the important
initiatives that American Humane offers in caring for animals and
children nationwide. Kay will be donating $200,000 as a proud
corporate sponsor of American Humane. As part of the announcement,
Kay has also introduced a new collection of pet themed jewelry
called “Love is a Four-Legged Word,” which will help support and
celebrate the partnership.
“We are very proud to be a corporate sponsor of American Humane
- an organization that has promoted the welfare and safety of
animals while strengthening the bond between animals and people for
more than 100 years,” said Katy Jones, executive vice president of
store operations, Kay Jewelers. “As an organization that has
recently celebrated 100 years ourselves, we have always been
dedicated to the communities in which we live and work and this
partnership is an exciting opportunity to continue that
commitment.”
The $200,000 donation from Kay will support promoting the use
of, advocating for, and getting more pets into children’s
classrooms. Extensive research has shown that incorporating pets
into the classroom teaches life lessons of empathy and
responsibility, shaping students’ lives for years to come.
“Kay has a proud heritage of making a true impact through its
philanthropic efforts and we are thrilled to be welcoming them to
our family,” said American Humane President and CEO Dr. Robin
Ganzert. “American Humane has been working for 140 years to build a
more humane world and now directly safeguards, and improves the
lives of some one billion animals each year. By helping get animals
into curriculums and classrooms, American Humane is fostering
compassion for animals and helping create a new generation of
animal ambassadors for the humane movement. I would like to thank
Kay Jewelers for bringing more love into the lives of our children
and our animals!”
The “Love is a Four-Legged Word” collection includes an
assortment of necklaces, bracelets, rings and earrings featuring
everything from puppy paws and proud dog mom necklaces to adorable
kitten designs. The new collection is available in all Kay stores
and online at Kay.com.
