MIAMI — kynd, a cannabis brand under the AYR Wellness Inc. umbrella, launched its annual charitable campaign, Season of Kyndness, on December 1. Following the success of last year’s campaign, kynd will donate a portion of proceeds from each unit sold throughout December to local charities.
In connection with Season of Kyndness and the celebration of its 10th anniversary, kynd has also begun a year-round charitable giving initiative, in which a portion of all sales proceeds will be donated to local food banks, animal rescues, and other local organizations in states where kynd is sold.
“Since its launch in 2014, kynd has made continuous efforts to help support local communities through philanthropic endeavors, and our annual Season of Kyndness event reflects this enduring commitment,” said Steven M. Cohen, interim CEO of AYR. “We plan to celebrate our 10th anniversary by elevating our Season of Kyndness program to new heights, expanding its reach to new states and increasing the number of charitable organizations we are partnering with. Beginning this year, we expanded our charitable giving to include ongoing quarterly donations to organizations within the areas that we serve.”
This December, patients, customers, and employees can embrace the Season of Kyndness by contributing in the following ways:
- Purchase: Kick off the season by purchasing a kynd product at any licensed AYR retail location in Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Florida, Ohio, or Nevada. A portion of proceeds from each purchase will benefit a local organization chosen by local AYR team members.
- Give: Join select stores as they organize food, coat, and toy drives to benefit local communities.
Kynd is a nationally grown, locally focused cannabis brand dedicated to providing its consumers with high-quality products and bettering the communities it serves. AYR’s flagship cannabis brand helped raise over $70,000 for charities and 200 boxes of toys for community-based organizations across five states during last year’s Season of Kyndness alone and strives to continue positively impacting charitable organizations in 2024.
