Gold Buying Fundraiser

Admit it. You have several pieces of gold jewelry just sitting in a box or on your dresser gathering dust. Either they're broken or out of style, or maybe they were gifts from someone in your past and you just don't want to wear them anymore. And if you have gold jewelry sitting around like this, so do a lot of other people. Why not turn it into a fundraising opportunity? You've probably heard of jewelers who buy gold from people. They melt the gold down and recycle it, turning it into new pieces of jewelry. But did you know some of them will work with non-profit and charity groups to help them raise money for their causes? This is how it works. You invite your community to participate in a gold buying event. They attend, and bring all their old gold jewelry to sell. The jeweler buys the gold based on weight. The gold they buy retains a certain value based on current gold prices, so the jeweler knows how much they'll be able to get for the gold once it's melted down. The jeweler then pays your group a commission based on that value. Everyone wins! Talk to local jewelers to find out if any of them are willing to participate in a gold buying fundraiser.
