Proceeds From Edible Arrangements® Orange Citrus Blossom™ Sales During the Month of March Benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society

WALTHAM, MA - (Marketwired - Mar 3, 2014) - Today, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society announced its partnership with 62 Edible Arrangements® stores of Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island for its fourth annual MS awareness campaign to raise funds to help people with MS and to support MS research. Over the past three years, these Edible Arrangements® locations donated nearly $33,000 to this cause.

Edible Arrangements® stores throughout Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island will donate $5 from every Orange Citrus Blossom™ arrangement sold during March, which is National MS Society's MS Awareness Month. Orange is also the official color of the Society.

"For the past three years, we raised nearly $33,000 for the National MS Society," said Nick D'Alleva, the Edible Arrangements® franchise partner whose passion for MS fundraising and awareness inspired the now annual fundraiser. "It's our fourth year promoting our involvement with the Society, and we hope to continue to raise money for this great organization that helps thousands of people each year."

"The fundraising generated by each store is essential to fueling the MS research engine, as it also helps everyone affected by MS to address the unpredictable and often disabling effects of the disease," said Lori Espino, Chapter President of the Society's Greater New England Chapter.
