United Way Annual DuFore’s Diamond Ring Raffle Underway

OSWEGO – You know we are nearing the holidays when United Way of Oswego County kicks off their annual DuFore’s Diamond Raffle, which was launched this week. This year’s raffle is back and bigger than ever for the 2024 holiday season. What has become a yearly tradition, DuFore’s Jewelers has donated a beautiful diamond ring to be raffled in support of United Way of Greater Oswego County’s Annual Campaign. Each fall, the community, local businesses, and organizations join together to raise funds for United Way that will help the community in ways that are meaningful and impactful for all. The annual raffle generously funds the annual campaign which in turn supports United Way’s members agencies’ efforts to fight hunger, support children and youth and ensure wellness.

Worth $4,500, this ring is a stunning oval cluster diamond ring – 1.5 carat total weight, set on a 14K white gold band with a yellow gold filigree accent.  The ring is currently on display at DuFore’s Jewelers, 94 West Second Street in Oswego. Returning by popular demand again this year, a second-place prize of a $200 gift card to DuFore’s will be drawn for.

“DuFore’s has been such a big supporter of United Way and our local community for years. We continue to be astonished each year by the generosity of DuFore’s Jewelers in donating this ring to raise funds for United Way and our local community partners and their programs.” said Brandi Weaver, Resource Development Director for United Way of Greater Oswego County.

Ticket sales continue right up until the drawing at noon on Christmas Eve, December 24. The drawing will be broadcast live on United Way’s Facebook from DuFore’s Jewelers.  For a chance at winning one of these spectacular prizes, tickets are available for $1 per chance, six tickets for $5 or fifteen tickets for $10. All proceeds from ticket sales benefit the United Way’s mission of improving lives in Oswego County by meeting critical human needs.

“The unwavering support we receive from local small businesses, like Dufore’s, is incredible. It takes an entire community working together to create positive change, and I believe we have that level of dedication here in Oswego County,” continued Weaver.
