While Harry & David recognized International Women’s Day on March 8, 2013. Taking distinctive approaches to create awareness, these major fruit basket companies portray their leadership in supporting the cause.

In 2011, Edible Arrangements raised $10,000 for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
