PROVIDENT SPARKLES TO BENEFIT SPORTS SAFETY
Provident Jewelry, Jupiter, Florida, hosted a ‘Sports & Sparkle’
Night in April to support the 13th Man Foundation, an
organization that puts medical personnel on the field at youth
sporting events to recognize and prevent serious injuries. The
evening raised funds for the nonprofit and created a buzz
about bringing a chapter to the local community.
Highlights of the evening included a silent auction complete
with a custom piece created by Provident Jewelry, meet and
greets with NFL stars and Super Bowl winners Bart Oates and
Lawrence “L.T.” Taylor, as well as live music from local artist
Mister Trombone.
“Provident Jewelry is pleased to be able to partner with such a
worthy cause of protecting our youth,” said Seth Berman,
managing partner of Provident Jewelry. “As a parent myself, I
want my child to be safe while having fun and staying active.”
The 13th Man Foundation is a non-profit charitable
organization dedicated to youth sports safety. The goal is to put
nurses, doctors, and EMTs on the sidelines of youth sporting
events so that every kid playing youth sports can be treated
immediately by a professional in case of an injury. The nurses,
doctors, and EMTs have the right to pull a kid out of a game if
deemed necessary and will advise parents whether the kid
needs further medical assistance thereafter.
“Nothing is more important than the safety of young athletes,”
said Larry Meistrich, co-founder of the 13th Man Foundation.
“If you’re a parent with a child who plays youth sports, please
contact your league and tell them to register so that 13th Man
representatives can be on the sideline of your kid’s games.”
