Casale Jewelers "Race for the Ring" - Second Year Running

March 1, 2012 - PRLog -- [Staten Island, New York] – March 1, 2012- Cory Schifter, owner of  Casale Jewelers , is hosting the second annual Race for the Ring, a social media based competition where five couples will have to complete five challenges with one couple winning a stunning $10,000 engagement ring.  The contest will start on March 1st and couples can find all details on how to enter via the Casale Jewelers Facebook page - http://facebook.com/sijeweler.  The race date is May 3rd and will begin at Nicotra’s Ballroom at the Hilton Garden Inn, Staten Island and end at Casale Jewelers with a proposal.

The contest requires couples to use Facebook to post a picture and get friends, family or anyone to vote on their photo.  Couples must be over 21 years of age and cannot be married or engaged.  The couples will have until March 31st to obtain as many “votes” as possible.  The top ten couples with the most “votes” will move on to the next round and ultimately five couples will participate in the May 3rd “Amazing Race” style competition.

Schifter shared, “We’re promoting teamwork.  What better way to start a life together than racing as a perfect team?”  Schifter is passionate about this event and looks forward to sharing a special moment with the winning couple. He’s also gathered a team of Staten Island based event specialists who will sponsor contests and prizes for the contestants.  In addition to Nicotra’s Ballroom, other participating businesses are:  Hilton Garden Inn, Partners in Sound Productions, A.F. Bennett, Clark’s House of Flowers, Uniquely Yours, Industry Magazine, Joey G. Video Production, YourFavorIt, Dante Tuxedos, and NYC Arts Cypher.

“An engagement is something special that couples will remember for the rest of their lives. This is something they can talk about for years to come.” Cory says, “The contest is like any relationship: you have to put in a lot of effort for it to work, but in the end you learn to work together.  Plus, one lucky couple will start their lives together with a free $10,000 ring.”
