October is all about raising awareness for breast cancer, a cause close to so many hearts. At RiZE Dispensaries, we believe in giving back to the communities that support us, and this month, we're especially focused on joining the fight against breast cancer. We’re raising awareness and making a tangible difference in the lives of those in our community.
After all, it’s these grassroots, local initiatives that create the strongest impact. In this blog, we’ll introduce you to the local organizations that are making a difference in the lives of those impacted by breast cancer in our area.
RiZE Iron Mountain: Supporting the Dickinson County Cancer Unit Loan Closet
At RiZE Iron Mountain, we’re honored to partner with the Dickinson County Cancer Unit Loan Closet, whose aim is to help make life a little easier for those battling cancer. The Loan Closet’s aim is to ensure that patients have access to the tools they need without the added stress of cost.
They provide aid and resources to cancer patients in the community, offering much-needed support during a difficult time including:
- Free medical equipment
- Wigs
- Walkers
- Wheelchairs
- Shower chairs
Throughout the month, we’re working to raise awareness and funds to support the Loan Closet’s incredible mission. Customers in Ironwood can “round up” and add to cash collection jars at checkout to support the Dickinson County Cancer Unit Loan Closet. Every bit helps, and
together we can lift up our neighbors who are facing the fight of their lives.
RiZE Marquette: Supporting UP Pink Power
UP Pink Power is a volunteer-driven organization that’s making waves in the fight against cancer. Their mission is simple yet powerful: supporting individuals and families impacted by cancer through local fundraising efforts and community initiatives. From organizing charity events to providing financial assistance, UP Pink Power ensures that those affected by cancer have the resources and support they need to face this challenge head-on.
RiZE Marquette is proud to stand with UP Pink Power this October for Breast Cancer Awareness Month and with your help, we’re raising funds and awareness in-store, with a portion of our sales going directly to this incredible organization.
Here’s what you can do to help:
- Visit RiZE Marquette and donate directly to UP Pink Power.
- Take part in our in-store fundraising activities.
- Keep in mind that a portion of our sales will go towards supporting UP Pink Power all month long.
It’s all about coming together as a community to uplift those who need it most, and we’re excited to make an impact with your help.
Standing Together: Local Support, Personal Stories, & Community Impact
By supporting local groups, we’re helping to strengthen that network, making sure that more people can access the services they need. As Dylon, our Cultivation Inventory and Compliance Lead, shared, this cause is especially close to his heart:
“My mother faced breast cancer with incredible strength, and while she didn’t use cannabis during her treatment, the possibility of it helping others going through the same battle deeply resonates with me. As someone working closely with cannabis, I’ve become passionate about its potential to ease the symptoms of cancer treatment, from pain management to nausea relief. While my mother’s journey didn’t involve cannabis, the idea that this plant could offer comfort and support to others in similar situations is something I feel strongly about advocating for.”
At RiZE Marquette, we’re proud to support UP Pink Power and stand alongside our friends and neighbors affected by cancer. By coming together, we can make a real difference in the lives of those who need it most. With your help, we’re not just raising funds—we’re offering hope and support to the people in our own community.
Carrying the Spirit of Giving Back Into Movember
As we wrap up Breast Cancer Awareness Month, it’s important to remember that the fight against cancer doesn’t stop here. With November just around the corner, we’re gearing up for Movember, an annual event that shines a light on men’s health issues, including prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health awareness.
While October is about supporting those impacted by breast cancer, Movember invites us to turn our attention to men’s health—because cancer knows no gender. Just as we’ve partnered with local organizations like Dickinson County Cancer Unit Loan Closet and UP Pink Power, we’re also looking ahead to how we can continue making an impact in November.
At RiZE Dispensaries, we believe in supporting all aspects of health and wellness in our community, and Movember is another great opportunity to make a difference.
Stay tuned to our
blog page for special Movember events and initiatives at RiZE, where we’ll be raising awareness for men’s health issues while continuing the spirit of community support. Together, we can keep the momentum going and show that no one fights alone.
Local Love, Lasting Impact
At RiZE Dispensaries, we believe that small, local actions can make a huge difference, and we’re proud to support both the Dickinson County Cancer Unit Loan Closet and UP Pink Power during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. These organizations provide invaluable resources to those facing cancer, and with your help, we can amplify their impact.
Whether you're donating items at our
Iron Mountain or
Marquette locations or supporting other cancer charities, there are plenty of ways to get involved and make a real difference in the lives of those battling breast cancer.
