season, Friendly Ice Cream Corporation will spread extra-holiday

limited-time holiday season fundraiser to benefit Easter Seals.

Friendly's restaurants can support Easter Seals by donating a $1,
and in return, will receive a thank you coupon sheet redeemable for
five free kids meals (valued at $20 or more). "We want to thank our
Friendly's guests for giving back this season -- the holiday kids

Corporation. "It's just another way for Friendly's to help make a
difference in the lives of children and adults with disabilities.
And with Easter Seals, we know every dollar raised will truly make
an impact on people who live in the many communities we serve." The
money raised through Friendly's kids meal promotion will help
Easter Seals provide such comprehensive programs and services as
medical rehabilitation, assistive technology, inclusive child care,
adult day centers, and even camping and recreation for children and
adults with disabilities. "This holiday-timed fundraiser further
demonstrates Friendly's 25-year- plus commitment to Easter Seals
mission of helping people living with disabilities," said James E.
Williams, Jr., president and chief executive officer of Easter
Seals. "This holiday season, the heart of Friendly's business
shines through once again." Since 1981, Friendly's has played a key
role in supporting Easter Seals and the thousands of children and
adults living with disabilities the organization serves. Friendly's
restaurants up-and-down the East Coast have raised more than $23.3
million to date; $1 million in 2006 alone. The company's annual
Valentine's Day campaign, "Cones for Kids' will begin at the
