Curaleaf and The Baldwin Fund Unite for Breast Cancer Research
Curaleaf is celebrating a significant milestone this October as it continues its national at-register donation initiative during Breast Cancer Action Month. This initiative brings together communities and individuals to contribute towards essential breast cancer research. The funds raised will directly support The Carol M. Baldwin Breast Cancer Research Fund, widely known as The Baldwin Fund.
Continuing a Meaningful Legacy
Throughout October, customers visiting Curaleaf locations are encouraged to 'Round Up for Research' at checkout, enabling a seamless contribution to breast cancer research aimed at finding breakthroughs. This year, Curaleaf is thrilled to expand its impact across the nation through this special campaign, uniting customers around a shared goal of supporting vital research and honoring those affected by breast cancer.
The Baldwin Fund's Impact
The Baldwin Fund has an impressive history, having raised over $13 million in its fight against breast cancer for more than two decades. The organization is now embarking on a bold $50 million campaign designed to assist the Upstate Cancer Center in achieving National Cancer Institute (NCI) designation. This designation represents a high standard for innovative cancer programs and research.
The Message of Unity
Stephen Baldwin, representing The Baldwin Fund, highlights his mother's impactful mantra: "Together We Will Find a Cure." He emphasizes that this partnership provides an opportunity for individuals nationwide to contribute to cancer research. His belief in Curaleaf as a trusted and quality brand enhances the initiative's credibility and inspires customers to participate by simply rounding up their bills at the register.
Understanding the Importance of Breast Cancer Action Month
Every October, Curaleaf recognizes Breast Cancer Action Month as a vital occasion to stand united with its communities, customers, and patients. The company's chairman and CEO, Boris Jordan, asserts the importance of acknowledging individuals impacted by breast cancer. Through this partnership with The Baldwin Fund, Curaleaf invites customers to honor survivors and support their families while contributing to the research efforts aimed at eradicating this disease.
Cannabis and Cancer Care
While cannabis does not serve as a cancer treatment, many individuals living with breast cancer have reported that it assists in managing pain, anxiety, and other treatment-related side effects. Curaleaf is dedicated to offering high-quality cannabis options to patients and consumers. The company remains committed to advocating for more rigorous research on the role of cannabis in cancer care.

The at-register donation program will be available at most Curaleaf dispensaries nationwide, in accordance with state regulations. Participating states include Arizona, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, and Utah. This expansive reach allows for extensive community involvement in the critical mission of breast cancer research.
