Gemesis

As a leader in the cultured diamond industry the Gemesis Corporation believes in setting a standard and giving back to the community and to select charities around the world. Charities are constantly searching for caring people who are able to help achieve their charitable missions. We encourage giving back.

American Heart Association

Gemesis contributed to the 2007 Tampa Bay Heart Ball. The Heart Ball is considered among the premiere gala's in Tampa Bay. The Heart Ball raised funds for the American Heart Association's research and educational programs.

Florida West Coast Symphony

Founded in 1949, the Florida West Coast Symphony is the oldest continuing orchestra in the state of Florida. The Gemesis Corporation partnered with Shrode Jewelers to support the 2008 BeaDazzled gala which raised funds to keep the music playing.

The Lance Armstrong Foundation

Lance Armstrong proved to be a true American hero when he crossed the finish line in Paris for his 7th Tour de France win – a world record. Trek Bikes along with jewelry designer Alan Friedman, the Gemesis Corporation, Nike and renowned artist Lenny Futura created a one-of-a-kind bicycle that was auctioned at the Lance Armstrong Foundation Gala in October 2005. Purchased by an anonymous buyer at the charity event, the bike was originally valued at $60,000 but sold for $75,000. The stunning gold-plated bicycle sports seven 1-carat Gemesis cultured diamonds to recognize each victory, as well as 300 white diamonds. The bike now has the prestigious title of "The World's Most Expensive Bicycle."

Life of Riley Foundation Golf Tournament

Riley Saba was a courageous, healthy, happy and beautiful seven-year-old girl. However, Riley was diagnosed with a brain tumor in June 2001. After she was diagnosed, Riley told her parents that she wanted other children with brain tumors to be able to live their lives with the hope of finding a cure one day. She also wanted these children to look forward to gifts during treatment, as reminders of hope and happiness. Riley died just six months after her diagnosis. Her generous spirit, and the courage and compassion she showed, inspired the creation of the Foundation. Jersey Mike’s Subs presented the 2007 tournament to lend their support to the Life of Riley Foundation’s mission of promoting awareness about pediatric brain tumors and raising money for a cure; as well as to providing support to and a voice for families whose children live with these tumors. The Gemesis Corporation was proud to be a sponsor of the event and donate a diamond necklace to raise money for the cause. We look forward to participate in years to come. www.lifeofrileyfoundation.com

Morgan and Friends Fight Cancer Tournament

Gemesis supported Morgan Pressel's charity January 6-7th, 2008. Morgan Pressel announced the first annual Morgan and Friends Fight Cancer Tournament at St. Andrew's Country Club in Boca Raton, FL. The event was inspired by her own personal experience with the fight against breast cancer, having lost her mother to breast cancer when she was just 15. All of the net proceeds from the private event was donated to the Lynn Cancer Institute's Breast Cancer Center at the Boca Raton Community Hospital, where her mother was treated.

Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Foundation

Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Foundation is comprised entirely of volunteers. The mission is to reach the community with information about pancreatic cancer and make an impact to stimulate research for early detection and advance cancer treatment for pancreatic cancer, ultimately- a cure. The Gemesis Corporation put together a team of employees who walked in 2008 to help make a difference in pancreatic cancer. We look forward to walking again in the years to come. www.sarasotawalk.org

Polo Ralph Lauren Pink Pony Fund

The Gemesis Corporation supports October Cancer Awareness Month by celebrating their relationship with professional golfer, Morgan Pressel. Gemesis supports Morgan by donating to the Birdie Matching Program. The Birdie Matching Program was introduced by Polo Ralph Lauren’s Pink Pony initiative to raise funds for the fight against breast cancer. In 2007 Morgan played in two LPGA Tour events in the United States during the Month of October (Longs Drugs Challenge at Blackhawk Country Club in Danville, CA and the Samsung World Championship at Bighorn Golf Club in Palm Desert, CA) and Gemesis matched Polo’s donation for each birdie she made during the two tournaments. The donation supports the Polo Ralph Lauren Pink Pony Fund and will directly benefit the Boca Raton Community Hospital Lynn Cancer Institute. www.polo.com
