Park Place Jewelers presented $20,000 in donations this week to four local charities – Atlantic General Hospital (AGH), Believe In Tomorrow Children’s
Foundation, the Rebecca and Leighton Moore Child and Adolescent Behavioral Health Unit and the Worcester County Education Foundation (WCEF). Each charity was presented a $5,000 donation, representing a portion of Park Place Jewelers’ sales during the month of May, which marked the 25th anniversary for the business. Park Place Jewelers has two locations – one on the Boardwalk at 2nd Street in Ocean City and in West Ocean City at the Park Place Plaza. On Tuesday, representatives from three of the four chosen charities were on hand to receive donations from Park Place Jewelers owners Todd, Jill and Sophia Ferrante. A check presentation to the Rebecca and Leighton Moore Child and Adolescent Behavioral Health Unit will take place at a future date.
