Impress Your Special Someone with Flowers, Chocolate and Charity
SAN FRANCISCO - (BUSINESS WIRE) - As a token of his affection Richard Burton presented Liz Taylor with the
69 carat Taylor-Burton diamond. For the rest of us, there are flowers
and chocolates - and, this year, the cause of your choice. Starting
today, Causes.com launches its first-ever program giving consumers a
chance to give to charity via a retail purchase. Buy a bouquet for that
special someone at causes.com/valentines and $10 will be donated to your
favorite charity.
Causes.com has teamed up with several leading flower vendors including
ProFlowers, to offer this donation now through February 15.
"You don't have to be a millionaire to want to give back," says Joe
Green, Causes founder. "We're always looking for innovative ways to
allow everyone to donate to their favorite charities. Even if you don't
celebrate the holiday as a romantic one, you could send a friend or
family member, or even yourself, flowers or a box of chocolates, knowing
that you'll trigger a donation to help out some really great causes."
At Causes.com/valentines you'll be able to choose from five featured
non-profits to donate to: Keep the Arts in Public Schools, Prem Rewat,
National Parks Conservation, Invisible Children and Campaign for Cancer
Prevention. You can also choose to dedicate the $10 donation to any of
the over 10,000 non-profits on Causes.com.
