Family Support Foundation Gets
Boost from Renowned Jeweler

The Georgia National Guard Family Support Foundation is getting a big boost from renowned fashion jeweler IceLink Watch. The company has announced that IceLink’s Charity-Links Campaign— an ambitious national campaign to raise funds and awareness for selected non-profit organizations throughout the country—will benefit the foundation during the month of July

The campaign is designed to use IceLink Watch’s new bicycle bracelet line—a sophisticated and affordable line of signature jewelry—to give back to communities. Each color of the bicycle bracelet—a total of 10—represents a different cause, with the fourth month of the campaign (July) using the yellow bracelet to support the Georgia National Guard Family Support Foundation. During the month of the campaign, a portion of the bicycle bracelets total national sales go to the Family Support Foundation.

“The Georgia National Guard Family Support Foundation, Inc. appreciates the opportunity to be included in IceLink’s Charity-Links Bracelet Campaign,” said Foundation Administrator Harriet Morgan. “The contributions raised from the sales of ‘the yellow bracelet’ will be a great way to welcome our troops back home. The Foundation’s sole purpose is to provide emergency relief assistance to the members and families of the Georgia National Guard and we extend our heartfelt appreciation to everyone at IceLink Watch for their support.”

“Our new line of bracelets represents our efforts to link communities together,” said Andy Sogoyan, Owner of IceLink Watch. “We are looking forward to raising much needed funding for such a worthy cause. The opportunity to support military families through the Georgia National Guard Family Support Foundation is an honor, and we hope that these funds will help to ease some of the hardships that military families often face.”

For the month of July in Atlanta, IceLink Watch will be partnering with local jewelry stores to support the month-long campaign. In addition to advertising in select jewelry stores, the campaign will be supported by a radio promotion on local stations. IceLink Watch has also announced that boxer Vernon Forrest, former welterweight champion, has come on as the celebrity spokesperson for the month to support the Foundation and his hometown of Atlanta.
