A Golden "Ounce" of Prevention! New Jerseyans are asked to dig through the bottoms of their drawers to find mismatched earrings, broken bracelets and tangled necklaces in a call to support child abuse prevention efforts across the state.

The non-profit organization is accepting donated jewelry pieces. These pieces are exchanged with a local jeweler offering ten percent above market value to fund the development of child abuse prevention programs in all 21 counties.
