Twelve Richmond jewelers work together in support of VCU Massey Cancer Center
(RICHMOND, Vir.) - A dozen of Richmond, Virginia’s leading jewelers have each donated a piece of jewelry to a raffle in support of women’s cancer research at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) Massey Cancer Center. The raffle, held in conjunction with the 16th Annual Women & Wellness event on February 8 at The Jefferson Hotel, is the first to feature so many pieces from such a stellar roster of donors.
