DuFore’s Jewelers Will Make Someone’s Holiday Brighter

OSWEGO  – The annual DuFore’s Diamond Ring Raffle is back and bigger than ever for the 2025 holiday season. DuFore’s Jewelers has donated a beautiful diamond ring to be raffled in support of United Way of Greater Oswego County’s Annual Campaign again this year. Each fall, the community, local businesses, and organizations join together to raise funds for United Way that will help support the local human needs in ways that are meaningful and impactful for all. The annual DuFore’s Ring Raffle helps fund the annual campaign which in turn supports United Way’s member agencies’ efforts to fight hunger, support children and youth and ensure wellness.

Worth $4,995, this stunning ring is a ladies 14 karat white gold emerald-shape cluster ring with 1.25 carat total weight of natural diamonds.  The ring is currently on display at DuFore’s Jewelers, 94 West Second Street in Oswego. Also returning by popular demand is the added second-place prize of a $200 gift card to DuFore’s.

“DuFore’s has been a valuable partner of United Way and our local community for years. We continue to be honored 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 Patrick Dewine, Executive Director for United Way of Greater Oswego County.

Ticket sales continue right up until the drawing at noon on 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,” added Dewine.
