ProFlowers Helps Customers Give Back This Mother's Day
SAN DIEGO, May 5 PRNewswire — In a perfect world, Mother's Day would last well beyond its calendar-designated second Sunday in May. This year, ProFlowers(R), the online fresh flower marketplace, encourages customers to get more out of the holiday by sending a guaranteed-to-last ProFlowers arrangement, which contains fresher, longer lasting flowers. Also, by sending one of ProFlowers' arrangements, you can send a gift that keeps on giving — what better way to extend your appreciation for mom?
Moms are always giving: to their families, to their community and to their jobs. This Mother's Day, the pros at ProFlowers help you give back to all the moms in your life with stylish bouquets, all fresh from the field. Not only can you give back to mom, ProFlowers makes it easy to give back to a few well-known charities as well.
"On Mother's Day, people aren't just sending flowers to their mom, they're also sending to wives, daughters, stepmothers, grandmothers, soon-to-be-mothers and even friends," says Eriko Ono, ProFlowers design expert. "That's why we offer so many different designs for you to give back to all the moms in your life and let them know much you love and respect them. To further celebrate the unique ways mom gives back, customers can visit any of the links below and a portion of each order will go to that charity."
In addition to ProFlowers' vast selection of fresh cut flowers, vase options and ways to give back to mom and community, they are also delivering simple arranging tips so that just about anyone can add a personal touch to their spring bouquet. From creative arranging tips for making flowers last 7 days or longer to stylish design techniques, the pros at ProFlowers have created a short video clip available for download and sharing at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuGiTk-EZpw.
ProFlowers supports more than 200 charities in flowers and cash donations throughout the year. Some of the organizations that you can support — along with mom — this year this Mother's Day include:
Susan G. Komen for the Cure(R)
ProFlowers has been committed to Susan G. Komen for the Cure since 2001 and has raised almost half a million dollars for the organization by donating 10 percent of the retail price from each product in its Pink Ribbon Collection, which can be found at http://www.HelpHopeBloom.com. Available year around and with products starting at $29.99, the collection includes more than a dozen ways to "Help Hope Bloom". Each gift arrives with awareness-building information. ProFlowers also donates more than $150,000 in pink flowers and cash donations for Race for the Cure events and survivor luncheons across the country. And for three years running, the ProFlowers Pink Parade has been the top corporate fundraising team for the San Diego Race for the Cure.
National Multiple Sclerosis Society
Each year since 2002, Team ProFlowers participates in Walk MS to help find a cure for Multiple Sclerosis. The company matches each dollar the team raises and supports the team with sample sales, dollar wars and sponsorship of the event. Another way that ProFlowers supports the National Multiple Sclerosis Society is through http://www.ProFlowers.com/mspacific. From here you can access ProFlowers' entire collection of fresh flowers and sweets. Even better — $10 of each purchase will go directly to the pacific chapter at no additional cost to you.
March of Dimes
This year, ProFlowers is not only helping customers give back to the moms in their life, they are helping make sure all babies get a healthy start through a partnership with March of Dimes. From now through Mother's Day, ProFlowers will donate $10 from every order placed through http://www.ProFlowers.com/marchofdimes. So when you send mom flowers, you are sending love to many other moms (and babies) as well.
