PATTI CUSTALOE AND EDITHE ROSS OF
Creations by Mom & Me of Kelowna, BC have been active contributors in their community for many years. They recently took their goodwill initiatives to the next level by teaming up with the local media and Flowers Canada to create a program called “Flower Power for Charities.”
Each month, Creations by Mom & Me designates a local charity as the featured “Flower Power” organization. Flowers Canada donates fresh flowers for the charity’s upcoming event, which receives media coverage by the local news. “Our efforts are beginning to pay off by broadening the outreach of regional charities and also reminding the community of the health-giving power of fresh flowers,” said Patti.
Featured “Flower Power” organizations have included the Canadian Diabetes Association, and the Canadian Blood Services. Association for the Benefit of Children with Disabilities, the Arthritis Society of Canada, the Canadian Cancer Society, Heart and Stroke Foundation, and the Kelowna Community Food Bank are also scheduled to participate in “Flower Power for Charities” later this year.
Creations by Mom & Me has been an FTD Member
since 1999.
