Disinger Jewelers supports endowment for industry education

At the recent Retail Jewelers Organization (RJO) exclusive Winter Buying Show, Disinger Jewelers made the commitment to be a Pioneer Member of the RJO Foundation 100+ Club.

RJO members who join the 100+ Club make a yearly financial commitment of $200, in two $100 increments, to the RJO Foundation Endowment Fund.

The RJO Foundation provides educational scholarships to RJO members and vendors to aid in the advancement of the jewelry industry. RJO members are encouraged to apply for scholarships through the Foundation to further their education within the industry.

“We are incredibly excited to be designated a Pioneer Member of the RJO Foundation 100+Club,” said Disinger Jeweler’s owner and general manager, Bob Disinger. “We recognize the importance of continuing education and feel honored to be part of a group working collectively to provide our peers with financial support. The training and instruction these scholarships provide makes our industry stronger as a whole. We are thrilled to stand behind the foundation’s mission and support its efforts through our hard-earned dollars.”

To date, through programs like the 100+ Club as well as special show campaigns, the RJO Foundation has given more than $23,000 in scholarship funds to nearly 50 RJO members.

Bob Disinger serves as the vice president of the RJO Foundation.
