MIAMI, Nov. 6, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Curaleaf, a leading vertically integrated cannabis operator in Florida, partnered with Badges of Courage throughout the month of October to support low income women who have been recently diagnosed with breast cancer or are currently undergoing treatment.

"We partnered with Badges of Courage in an effort to help alleviate some of the financial burden breast cancer patients face during treatment. Our goal is to establish partnerships with organizations that will have an on-going positive impact in the communities we serve," said Yesenia Garcia, Curaleaf Florida Marketing Director.
