National MS Society Partners With Edible Arrangements(R) to Raise Money for Multiple Sclerosis Research and Services

WALTHAM, MA--(Marketwire -03/01/12)- Today, the National MS Society, Greater New England Chapter announced its partnership with the Boston-Manchester Co-op of Edible Arrangements in a campaign to raise funds and awareness to stop progression, restore function and end multiple sclerosis forever.

During the month of March, coinciding with the National MS Society's MS Awareness Month, Edible Arrangements stores throughout Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire will donate a portion of their sales from every Orange Blossom arrangement purchased to the National MS Society. This arrangement is especially fitting because orange is the official color of The Society. As long as arrangements are ordered and paid for during the month of March, they can be delivered at any time throughout the year.

"We are honored to have the opportunity to give back to the community and help fight a disease that affects so many people across the world," states Chris Dellamarggio, inaugural Edible Arrangements franchise owner and president of the Boston-Manchester Co-op.

"The National MS Society, Greater New England Chapter is thrilled to work with Edible Arrangements, a company that was built around celebrating life. This fundraiser helps individuals and families move together toward a world free of MS," said Arlyn White, President & CEO of the Greater New England Chapter.

To order an Orange Blossom bouquet, call or visit any of the participating MA or NH locations or visit http://www.EdibleArrangements.com/MS and select any Orange Blossom arrangement (product codes: 1025, 1064 or 1066).
