The ‘Blooming Marketer’ Education/Scholarship Fund

Sponsored by EdenFlorist.com and the Florida Direct Marketing Association.  
The “Blooming Marketer” Education/Scholarship Fund was established to provide educational stipends to local (tri-county area including Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach ) college students and faculty to cover expenses for educational seminars hosted by the Florida Direct Marketing Association. The purpose of the “Blooming Marketer” Education/Scholarship Fund is to also provide individual  scholarship assistance to local college students.   Students can apply anytime throughout the year until funds are exhausted.

*The goal of this fund is to raise at least $1,000 through the affiliate partnership established by Eden Florist and the FDMA.  The monies raised will be used to further the education of students in the field of Marketing, with an emphasis on direct marketing.  Our goal is to provide at least two $250 scholarships and 20 admissions to the FDMA regular events.  The 20 admission stipends would allow 2 attendees per month for those students or faculty applying.

According to Heidi Richards, Chief Goddess of Eden Florist.com, “The Scholarship Fund was named ‘Blooming’ because education is like a flower constantly blooming, and as more and more education is obtained by one, they flourish.  Eden Florist is very proud and honored to give back to the community with this education fund.” The Fund will begin February 1st with a special kick-off for Valentine’s Day and continue through June 2006. Order flowers for your special someone for Valentine’s Day or anytime to support the “Blooming Marketer” fund.”   

Keith Fletcher, President of the FDMA, states “This is a great opportunity for everyone to do two positive things at once.  People are buying flowers for that special person in their lives for Valentine’s Day or other occasions, so they might as well buy them where the purchase benefits the education of students via a scholarship.  Even if you are in Alaska or Hawaii and buying flowers, you can help make a difference.”
You can support the “Blooming Marketer” Education/Scholarship Fund, by placing your orders either online , on the phone (call 954-981-5519) or in person.  You must mention the FDMA when you place your order.  If you order online  you must mention “FDMA” on the order form where it asks you “How did you hear about us.”
