Edward Marc Chocolatier Announces ‘One Sweet Gesture’
Washington, D.C. — Edward Marc Chocolatier is helping to transform social and corporate responsibility in America. The prestigious 95-year-old Pittsburgh-based gourmet chocolatier is delighted to announce its ongoing charitable initiative, ‘One Sweet Gesture,’ which allows customers to contribute 20% of the proceeds from the purchase to the company’s partner charities: the Make-A-Wish Foundation, The Children’s Institute and the Wounded Warrior Project.
“We wanted to provide our customers with the opportunity to buy a gift that gives back for the holiday season,” says Chris Edwards, fourth-generation chocolatier and chief of marketing and development. “At Edward Marc we strongly believe that social and corporate responsibility is essential. One Sweet Gesture will allow those in corporate America, as well as the everyday consumer, to help those in need by simply purchasing a box of chocolate.”
And who doesn’t love chocolate? For this holiday season, Edward Marc will commit that 20% of their website sales at www.edwardmarc.com will be donated to one of their charitable partners. What makes One Sweet Gesture unique is that Edward Marc has developed a grassroots campaign to sell chocolate to each participating charity’s constituent base. As fervent supporters of these organizations, people have been choosing to purchase their chocolate gifts from Edward Marc, and simultaneously supporting their favorite charitable organization. Attached to each gift is a personal story of a life that has been changed through this type of work. “We want to be able to give the gift of hope through our chocolate.” Please join our cause by sweetening someone’s life with a box of chocolates and making this world a happier place.
The Edwards Family has over 45 years experience in cause marketing and has been in the chocolate industry for 95 years, making their chocolates one of the most prestigious brands on the East Coast. The brand has long catered to heads of state, members of Congress, corporate executives, celebrities and, of course, the everyday sweet tooth.
