Cannabis Cares: MariMed Commits To Breast Cancer Initiative Via Its Betty's Eddies Brand

Cannabis company MariMed MRMD MRMD will make a monetary donation to the Keep A Breast (KAB) Foundation via its Betty’s Eddies brand that will advance breast cancer awareness education and support the millions of people affected by the disease.

The initiative includes redesigned product packaging and a campaign to foster KAB’s mission of reducing breast cancer risk through education, with a focus on early detection. The month-long campaign coincides with Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October.

“Every day, we hear from patients about how Betty’s Eddies helped them throughout their treatment journey,” Sara Rosenfield, Betty’s Eddies brand manager stated. “Our partnership with the Keep A Breast Foundation honors those battling breast cancer and empowers people to pay attention to their health, including prevention and early detection.”

Ache Away Eddies

The all-natural, cannabis fruit chews brand, handcrafted to suit a variety of specific end effects, has launched a limited-time redesigned pink package for its fan-favorite Ache Away Eddies that highlights KAB’s mission of reducing breast cancer risk through education. The cherry-flavored chews, infused with CBD, CBC and THC, plus turmeric, piperine and vitamin E may help ease inflammation and aid recovery.

Both MariMed and Betty’s Eddies will bolster the partnership, which aligns with both brands' deep commitment to health and wellness, by promoting the KAB app on the redesigned packaging and their social media channels. The app, available on the Apple and Google Play Stores, offers education about and advocacy for self-checking and immediately connects users to medical professionals when necessary.

Customers in Massachusetts, Maryland, and Delaware can participate in the Ache Away Betty’s collaboration by purchasing the product in licensed dispensaries and by downloading the KAB app that promotes access to care.

“When the Betty’s Eddies team approached us with this partnership idea, we were excited to reach even more people and encourage early detection,” Shaney Jo Darden, founder of Keep A Breast Foundation said in a statement. “With recent research indicating the potential for cannabis to alleviate the painful side effects of cancer treatment, we saw this as the perfect partnership in support of our mission.”
