Pre-rolls for a Cause.
nuEra is participating in Breast Cancer Awareness month with a “Pre-rolls for a Cause” fundraiser, with proceeds benefiting Gilda’s Club, an Illinois based nonprofit that serves the needs of the women and families affected by breast cancer.
Throughout the month of October, nuEra’s five dispensary locations will be donating $1 per unit sold of special edition 0.75g cannabis flower pre-rolls and 0.75g “Blazy Diamonds” infused pre-rolls.
*All special edition pre-rolls wrapped with pink Blazy Susan pre-roll cones which are Vegan, Non-GMO and sourced with high quality wood paper from France. The light pink hue comes from being dyed with organic pigments.
AND nuEra is also donating net revenue from the sales of a “show your support” pink nuEra logo pin.
Partnership with Illinois Women in Cannabis
In addition to helping us promote our “shop for a cause” fundraiser, Illinois Women in Cannabis hosted a free online event on Wednesday October 6th from 2:00pm – 3:30pm titled Breast Cancer and Medical Cannabis—a conversation in honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
