PEORIA, Ill., December 5, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – NuEra Cannabis has kicked off its annual “Season of Giving Danks” charity campaign, which runs from November 15 through December 24, 2024. This year, the campaign aims to support the Center for Prevention of Abuse, located near one of the company’s key dispensaries in Peoria, Illinois.
A Charitable Drive Across Illinois
The campaign invites customers at NuEra’s Illinois dispensaries to make donations during their checkout process. The funds raised will go towards crucial programs that assist individuals affected by abuse. Participating locations include:

Dollar-for-Dollar Match Inspires Record Donations
One of the campaign’s highlights was a special Giving Tuesday event held on December 3, 2024. During this event, NuEra matched every customer donation dollar for dollar, leading to an outpouring of generosity from both customers and staff.
Jonah Rapino, Director of Marketing at NuEra Cannabis, expressed his pride in the community’s support: “Our team is deeply committed to giving back to the communities we serve, and this annual event is one of the ways we can make a meaningful impact,” he said. “Matching donations on Giving Tuesday not only amplified the support we could offer but also fostered a spirit of giving among our customers.”
