Chevy Chase Jewelry is a small family-owned and operated business, with deep roots to the Chevy Chase Community. We firmly believe in the saying, "The more you give, the more you recieve." We have identified a few nonprofits that are near-and-dear to our hearts, and will donate 10% of any sale (excluding shipping & handling) to one of these organizations if you want, when you place an order.

National Kids of Deaf Adults Family Conference: www.nkodafc.org .

The Clinton Foundation, Hugh R. Gregory Memorial Fund: http://www.clintonfoundation.org/what-we-do/clinton-hiv-aids-initiative . Right now, there are 33.2 million people living with HIV/AIDS in the world. More than 90% live in developing countries, where access to treatment is much more limited than in the developed world. President Clinton established the Clinton HIV/AIDS Initiative in 2002 to close this gap in access by negotiating lower prices for lifesaving antiretroviral treatment, and by working with governments to improve the national health care systems required to deliver crucial medicines.
Since then, CHAI has expanded its scope of work beyond ARVs to increase access to diagnostics and malaria medicines, as well as to address a variety of issues that must be overcome in order to turn the tide of the HIV/AIDS pandemic, including:Supporting governments to deliver HIV/AIDS services to underserved populations, such as children and those living in rural areas Increasing countries' human resource capacity to deliver care and treatment Preventing the transmission of the disease from mothers to their children. We do this to honor Hugh R. Gregory, Pam's father.
