At M Robinson Fine Jewelers, the focus is not only on high-end jewelry but community involvement. The store's community centric initiatives gained momentum amid the uncertainties of 2020. CEO Raymond Gill recalls, "During community uncertainties, we stayed connected through Facebook Live events called 'Spirits and Sparkles.'" These events paired local wineries and distilleries and highlighted jewelry pieces.
"Since that year, we have continued to find ways to keep growing and nurturing our relationships with the community which resulted this year with us hosting our first Giving Tuesday Sip and Shop event with Abigail E Keller Foundation." The Abigail E Keller Foundation provides medical support to terminally ill children and their families. Gill shares, "We were so touched... we offered M Robinson Fine Jewelers as a venue to help raise funds."
The store's atmosphere contributes to its unique role in community events. "Our store is warm and welcoming," Gill states, highlighting the spacious showroom that caters to large gatherings. "Abigail E Keller Foundation was able to meet its goals for Giving Tuesday. In addition, our store was so taken aback by the giving hearts of the guests that we doubled the donations to the cause."
In discussing the significance of jewelry, Gill reflects, "When someone comes into the store to buy a piece of jewelry, they are looking for that perfect piece that has a purpose, just like many philanthropic endeavors have a cause. That one piece is something that will be a symbol of someone's love like an engagement ring...[and] they are reminded of what they have accomplished and the love that got them where they are."
Looking ahead to 2024, the store plans to continue its community engagement. "We're excited to host various events throughout 2024, including another Giving Tuesday Sip & Shop," Gill notes, inviting everyone to participate and share their stories.
