Brinker's says it's a way of helping organizations that do a lot for those in need in our community.

"We've been a part of the community for 40 years and we're known for being a part of the community. We just want to do something extra special for our 40th anniversary, so it definitely makes us feel good to help those in need," said Kyle Brinker, CFO of Brinker's Jewelers.

Voting lasts all month long. Head to Brinker's Facebook page to vote.
