Newtown Jewelry Store Announces Big Holiday Giveaway
The campaign continues a celebration that began a year ago with the store's transfer of ownership from Bernie Rovinsky to his employees.

NEWTOWN, PA — The owners of Bernie Robbins Jewelers will thank its customers and the community in December with a "12 Days of Giving" campaign at its Newtown, Pa., and Somers Point, N.J., stores.
For 12 days, from Monday, Dec. 9, through Friday, Dec. 20, shoppers who stop by the stores and complete a simple form via QR code will be entered to win designer jewelry and many other prizes. No purchase is necessary to take part in the give away.
The campaign continues a celebration that began a year ago with the store's transfer of ownership from legendary founder and owner Bernie Rovinsky to his employees - Stephen Berman, Gennifer Flaxman, Steve Jaffe, Andy Lazar, and Sandra Moran.

“We are all so grateful for the opportunity of ownership that was bestowed on us by the Rovinskys that we wanted to extend our own demonstration of gratitude to our customers and the community," said Flaxman. "We hope the gifts of designer jewelry do that, as well as our appreciation of family by supporting the charity helpusadopt.org. Bernie Robbins Jewelers was run by Bernie's family for 60 years and that legacy was passed down to us, five people who feel like a part of their family.”
The jewelry lines participating in the give-back program are Roberto Coin, Marco Bicego, Penny Preville, Frederique Constant, Uneek, Wolf 1834, Shy Creation, Sorellina and more.

Here’s a taste of what is being offered: a Penny Preville diamond necklace (value $3500); a Frederique Constant diamond watch (value $1195), Marco Bicego earrings (value $2450), a Roberto Coin Venetian Princess Necklace (value $2040) and also a travel package, a children’s package and more.
Each evening a winner will be randomly selected and if someone doesn’t win the first day, they are automatically included in the following days.
In addition, Bernie Robbins Jewelers is giving a percentage of sales to Helpusadopt.org, demonstrating the value they place on family. The national nonprofit financial grant program helps couples and individuals (regardless of ethnicity, gender, marital status, race, religion, or sexual orientation) with the cost of their adoptions by awarding grants up to $30,000.
It's a cause very special to the group, as Lazar was adopted and he and his wife later adopted their son Mark. Flaxman and her husband also adopted their son Spencer through the organization.
"I had the privilege of selecting families who would receive these grants, and each story tugged at my heart more than the next," said Flaxman, who served on the non-profit's board. "I am thrilled that our group of owners, who value the families who shop with us and our own families, have agreed that helpusadopt.org is meaningful to us all.”
The campaign, said the new owners, is also a way for them to say thank you to its customers and to the community for their support during their first year of ownership of the stores.
“We are so appreciative of the whole community that has supported us and made this transition so smooth," said Moran. "We are thrilled to offer the 12 Days of Giving and to support helpusadopt.org as our way of saying ‘thank you very, very much.’”
Now open six days a week, the store hours are Monday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The flagship store is located at 507 New Road, Somers Point, N.J. 08244 and their store in Bucks County is located at 200 North Sycamore Street, Newtown 18940.
