Pebbles to Pines Raffle Results
Last week, we concluded our Pebbles to Pines fundraising raffle, a key event in our annual fundraising series. We're excited to share that we've successfully met our goal of funding the planting of 10,000 trees!
Together, we rallied support for the fundraiser from participants in three countries and over 25 U.S. states. By selling 300 raffle tickets, raising $7,750, along with an additional contribution from Columbia Gem House, we collectively raised a total of $10,000! These funds will directly benefit the National Forest Foundation’s Reforestation Program, where every dollar donated plants a tree in critical need areas. This includes forests in Oregon, Arizona, and Montana—states from which this year's featured gems were sourced.
A heartfelt thank you to the nine talented designers who generously donated their time and creations, as well as to MJSA for their partnership on this meaningful project. We also extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who purchased a ticket or shared the raffle with friends and family. The contribution made to the National Forest Foundation was made possible by all of you!
