Organic Remedies Donates $20,000 to Support Pennsylvania Breast Cancer Survivors and Their Families
CARLISLE, Pa., Nov. 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Organic Remedies, a medical marijuana cultivation and research organization based in south central Pennsylvania, has raised $20,000 to support the Pennsylvania Breast Cancer Coalition (PBCC). The PBCC is a nonprofit dedicated to supporting breast cancer survivors and their families across the Commonwealth through educational programs, legislative advocacy, and funding for breast cancer research.
During its annual October Breast Cancer Awareness campaign, Organic Remedies collected in-store donations from patients and donated a portion of the proceeds from select Organic Remedies medical marijuana products. The company presented a $20,000 donation to the PBCC on Nov. 21, 2025. Since 2020, Organic Remedies has raised more than $83,000 in support of the PBCC.
“Breast cancer affects thousands of women and their families in Pennsylvania each year,” said Mark Toigo, CEO of Organic Remedies. “We are proud to support the Pennsylvania Breast Cancer Coalition in helping women currently battling breast cancer and hope that our contribution can help advance the research to find a cure for this tragic disease.”
As part of its campaign, Organic Remedies hosted a "pink" light show at its cultivation facility in Carlisle. The “Take Your Top Off for Breast Cancer” light show featured LED lights used in the cultivation process to create an impressive pink display every Sunday in October, drawing attention to the cause and generating additional donations.
“We are truly grateful to Organic Remedies for its significant contribution to our mission,” said Jennifer Pensinger, Executive Director of PBCC. “More than 14,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in Pennsylvania this year alone. This generous donation will allow the PBCC to provide free care packages, personalized patient advocacy, educational programming, and breast cancer research grants across the state. Thank you, Organic Remedies, for bringing us closer to our ultimate goal of finding a cure for breast cancer now… so our daughters don’t have to.”
In addition to its fundraising campaign, Organic Remedies coordinated a collection of clothing, jewelry, scarves, and other items for Pink Hands of Hope, a nonprofit thrift shop in Mechanicsburg, Pa., that provides donated items to individuals battling breast cancer.
Cancer is one of the 24 qualifying conditions approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Health for medical marijuana therapy. Many women undergoing treatment for breast cancer have found relief through Organic Remedies’ products.
