WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – Windsor Jewelers is partnering with the Childress Institute for Pediatric Trauma at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center to raise funds to help save the lives of seriously injured children and improve their chances of recovery.
Windsor Jewelers will host the David Yurman/Childress Institute for Pediatric Trauma special benefit evening on Tuesday, Sept. 22, from 6 to 8 p.m. at its store at 526 S.
