Teleflora will donate more than 40,000 of their Be Happy® Mugs through its units program to member florists, who will work with local wholesalers and growers to secure donated flowers. Local Teleflora florists will use these donations to make cheery Be Happy® Bouquets, full of beautiful flowers, and deliver them to residents of their choosing in their local communities.

“Last year marked the 10^th anniversary of Make Someone Smile^® Week and it’s wonderful that in year 11, the florists continue to amaze me with their interest and enthusiasm for the program,” said Rich Salvaggio, Vice President of Industry Relations and Publications, Teleflora.  “The joy on the faces of the recipients reinforces why this program continues to be so successful with the help of our local unit boards, florists and volunteers.”

As florists around the country are making deliveries during Make Someone Smile^® Week, consumers can order a smile for that special someone in their lives by visiting http://www.teleflora.com and purchasing a Be Happy® Bouquet for $46.95.

Last year’s program spanned over 200 cities throughout the United States and Canada; more than 2,000 florists donated their time.  Teleflora’s program delivered more than 33,000 bouquets to those most in need of a smile.  For more information on Teleflora’s Make Someone Smile^® Week, or how you can get involved, call 310.966.8328.
