Funds raised will impact Easter Seals services for children with autism and other disabilities in communities nationwide (Chicago, November 6, 2012) -- This holiday season, why not give a gift that makes a difference in the life of a young child in your community? Beginning today, ProFlowers will make a $10 contribution to Easter Seals for every purchase at www.easterseals.com/flowers to support Easter Seals services for young children with autism and other disabilities. A wide variety of merchandise is available through the promotion including holiday florals and seasonal treats. “During this season of giving, ProFlowers.com and our parent company, Provide Commerce, are privileged to partner with Easter Seals to support the important work it is doing to help young children and their families across the country,” says Provide Commerce Affiliate Marketing Manager Jeff DeBo. The promotion will continue throughout 2012 to impact Easter Seals’ Make the First Five Count initiative, designed to provide critical early intervention services to young children from birth to age five at risk of autism, developmental delays or other disabilities so they can start school on par with their peers, assuring the foundation they need for a lifetime of learning. As the nation’s leading non-profit provider of services for individuals with autism, developmental disabilities, physical disabilities and other special needs, Easter Seals knows that getting the right services at the earliest stage in life helps a child gain the skills he or she needs to be successful. “Every year, we as a nation fail to identify 1.5 million children under the age of five with autism, developmental delays or other disabilities” says James E. Williams, Jr., president and chief executive officer of Easter Seals. “Easter Seals is working to change that! Our new partnership with ProFlowers promises to generate valuable support to assure these children are identified and provided the early intervention services they need through our Make the First Five Count initiative.” To order a holiday floral or other seasonal gifts for which ProFlowers will contribute $10 to Easter Seals, visit www.easterseals.com/flowers.
