Turn Your Gold Into Cash and Provide Support to Local Eldercare Programs

The public is invited to a “Cash for Gold” fundraiser to be held at SAGE Eldercare, 290 Broad Street, Summit on Thursday, May 3, 2012 from 11 am to 1 pm and from 5 pm to 7 pm. 

Bring your gold, platinum and sterling silver jewelry, estate jewelry, coins, sterling silver flatware and fine watches – anything that is unwanted or unworn, even single earrings, broken chains.  American Gold & Diamond Buyers will have licensed and insured appraisers on site to provide a private and confidential valuation and pay cash on the spot!  A percentage of the proceeds from this event will be donated back to SAGE Eldercare and its numerous community-based programs which support the elderly and caregivers in the surrounding region.     

“Everyone knows that gold is selling at an all-time high and SAGE is pleased to be able to offer this service of having a certified appraiser come to our headquarters to evaluate and appraise our guests’ jewelry,” explained Dawn Knill, Director of Development at SAGE Eldercare.  “It is truly a win-win situation because attendees will receive cash on the day of the event at the market value rate for their unwanted jewelry, and SAGE will receive a donation from American Gold & Diamond Buyers as a result of their sale to support our mission.”
