Bud & Mary’s, a leading multi-state cannabis operator, today announced the launch of its Batch Aware-N-Us Breast Cancer Awareness campaign, aligning with National Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October. The initiative pairs product sales with meaningful donations to breast cancer nonprofits working in the communities Bud & Mary’s serves across four states, sharing survivor voices, and demonstrating the role cannabis can play in supportive care.

Through several statewide partnerships, Bud & Mary’s will donate $1–$2 per unit sold to local nonprofit organizations, with a minimum commitment of $20,000 in total contributions across four markets.
