MKX and Blazy Susan Launch Collaborative Campaign to Support Breast Cancer Awareness Initiatives

Leading Michigan-based cannabis company MKX, in partnership with beloved global accessories and lifestyle brand Blazy Susan, announced the launch of its breast cancer awareness campaign, immediately following up on the company’s impact initiatives during Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, to perpetuate the company’s community-driven mission throughout the year. The initiative pairs product sales with meaningful donations to nonprofit organizations serving the communities in which these companies operate, demonstrating the roles ancillary and cannabis companies can play in supporting care for those affected by cancer in their communities.

A portion of every product sale will be donated to local Michigan-based breast cancer awareness charities, including Gilda’s Club, Shades of Pink Foundation, and the Chicago-based Lynn Sage Breast Cancer Foundation.

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) predicts that one in 12 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. It is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer globally, and the leading cause of cancer deaths among women. While fighting this scourge receives plenty of attention during Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, the companies collectively recognize that combating breast cancer is an all-year-round fight.

The collaborative effort is the brainchild of Issam Kaoud, founder of licensed Michigan-based cannabis processor 4K Processing, Inc. (4K), and MKX executives Sam, Omar, and Christian Kaoud, who have immediate family members whose lives have been detrimentally affected by cancer. In conjunction with Blazy Susan’s CEO, wunderkind Will Breakell, these dedicated, mission-driven teams have subsequently decided to make an impact by collectively fighting back against this terrible disease.  

To help combat this scourge, Detroit, MI-based companies MKX and 4K, in partnership with celebrated Denver, CO-headquartered lifestyle and accessories brand Blazy Susan, are launching a co-branded line of 30-Pack Infused Pre-Rolls, starting with a limited-release small batch product line anticipated to sell out quickly.

The featured products include Blazy Susan x MKX 0.5g Liquid Diamond Infused Pre-Roll 30-Pack in Lemon Cherry Gelato, Pink Champagne, and Raspberry Rose cultivars. Licensed Michigan dispensaries, including Puff Cannabis, Pure Cannabis, JARS Cannabis, House of Dank, and King of Budz, will carry the exclusive line of co-branded products.

Blazy Susan’s CEO, Will Breakell’s mom, is a breast cancer survivor, and the company’s Director of Impact’s late grandmother was a survivor, but her cousin passed away from this terrible disease at age 36. The MKX founder’s father treated his brain cancer with Rick Simpson Oil, which inspired their passion to launch their cannabis company.

“By supporting cancer research, we’re working towards a future where breast cancer is a thing of the past,” said Breakell.

“We at MKX are deeply honored to collaborate with Blazy Susan on such an impactful and meaningful project,” said Christian Kaoud, Executive at MKX Oil Co. “As a brand committed to promoting holistic healing through cannabis, this partnership aligns closely with our mission and our hearts. Having personally experienced the loss of a loved one to cancer, this initiative carries profound significance for our team. We’re proud to stand alongside Blazy Susan in supporting breast cancer awareness and contributing to a cause that touches so many lives.”
