The two companies are joining forces this year for a Veteran’s Day fundraiser. So while Veteran’s Day isn’t until November 11th, you can celebrate veterans with Greenhouse and UBaked starting this Friday with a special offer.

And as if that weren’t enough, Jerry Millen of the Greenhouse of Walled Lake is also offering veterans a unique opportunity. More on that in a little bit…

Celebrate Veterans with Greenhouse and UBaked Fundraiser

And enjoy some chocolate!

Starting this Friday, November 5th, the Greenhouse of Walled Lake and UBaked Edibles are selling 1,000 chocolate bars for only $10.00 per bar. Of course, this is only for as long as supplies last, so you won’t want to hesitate.

Each chocolate bar is donned in patriotic packaging that’ll get you feeling good about your country and especially those who serve it just in time for Veteran’s Day.

Through this promotion, Greenhouse of Walled Lake and Ubaked Edibles are committed to donating at least $10,000 to causes that benefit veterans. Half of the proceeds will go to Veterans Coming Home Charity in Roseville, Michigan. You may have heard of it, as it’s a favorite charity of Big Jim on the WCSX morning show.

The other $5,000 will go to five individual veterans (chosen based on need) in the form of $1,000 each.

As Greenhouse of Walled Lake owner Jerry Millen says, “We can never do enough for our brave men and women who have put their lives at risk so we can keep our freedom.” And it’s for this reason that Millen is also hiring only veterans as drivers for his new home delivery service.

Helping Veterans Stay Viable

Veterans – particularly those who were in combat – can find it challenging to return to everyday life. Along with the possibility of having to deal with depression and PTSD, many experience trouble reconnecting with family and managing survivor’s guilt. This can make it difficult to establish a sense of purpose again.

To help veterans who may be experiencing this lack of purpose, the Greenhouse of Walled Lake is NOW seeking twelve veterans (both male and female) who want to drive for their new delivery program which starts November 9th. Drivers can earn up to $50,000 per year and delivery cars cars and gas are courtesy of Greenhouse of Walled Lake. And absolutely no knowledge of the cannabis industry is necessary.

Applicants with a valid Michigan driver’s license and good driving record can send emails or resumes by clicking here.

Get in the Spirit This November 11th

Celebrate veterans with Greenhouse and Ubaked this year! While you’re helping yourself to chocolate, you’ll also be helping vets who need a little extra this time of year.

So be sure to swing into the Greenhouse of Walled Lake to take advantage of this great offer while supplies last.

It’s been a bit of a buzz kill, to say the least.

Even so, it didn’t stop him from holding a special fundraiser at the dispensary this past Friday.

As one who’s long been dedicated to giving back to the community, Millen decided to sponsor the fundraiser – as well as a promotion leading up to it – to support a very special Walled Lake non-profit organization called The Drew Crew.

To say it was a success is an understatement.

The Story of the Drew Clayborn

The namesake for The Drew Crew is Walled Lake resident, Drew Clayborn.

In 2010, Drew was an active and engaged high school student who loved playing football and basketball. He was also a member of the marching band and the guitar club, and was getting ready to be in a school play.

It was during a rehearsal for that play that the 15-year-old Drew’s life would change forever. When the director of the play asked if any students had a unique talent they wanted to share, Drew was excited to say he could perform a backflip.

Although he was still in the process of learning how to do this, he felt confident he could do it.

Drew attempted the flip. And in a single life-shattering moment, he landed in such a way that he broke his neck – leaving him paralyzed from the shoulders down.

He and his family were suddenly in need of a lot of help and didn’t know where to turn.

The Drew Crew

After Drew suffered his spinal cord injury, there was a huge outpouring of love and support from the community. They helped Drew and his family in ways the family never dreamed possible.

And thus, the The Drew Crew was born.

The Drew Crew is a now a non-profit organization focused on helping individuals and families that have suffered a spinal cord injury or traumatic brain injury.

Their mission is to demonstrate that those who have suffered a catastrophic injury such as this can still live a complete and fulfilling life. They offer mentorship and guidance to individuals and families, as well as help to facilitate ways to raise money for specific needs such as acquiring necessary equipment.

Through his own inner-drive, the overwhelming devotion of his family, and the love and financial support of the fundraising efforts by “The Drew Crew,” Drew’s dreams continue to be fulfilled while new goals are constantly being set.

Now a mathematical biology major at the University of Michigan, the 25-year-old Drew is approaching graduation and in pursuit of a master’s degree.

The Greenhouse Teams up with The Drew Crew

Upon learning about Drew and this amazing organization, Walled Lake Mayor Linda Ackley asked Millen if he would be open to doing a fundraiser at the Greenhouse.

Millen wasted no time saying yes.

So the Greenhouse got to work having coffee mugs, key chains, cards, and stuffed bears made up with catchy and humorous phrases to stimulate sales. All proceeds from those sale when to The Drew Crew group.

Furthermore, Kushy Punch, a manufacturer of gummies, also donated $2,000 worth of products that were raffled off as part of the promotion.

The End Result?

The Greenhouse had about 500 people come through the door on February 14th. Along with the nine-day promotion that proceeded the event, they took in $3000 in cash!

All proceeds went directly to the Drew Crew to help brain and spinal cord injury victims like Drew to live a more fulfilled life. It truly is an example of the power of giving back.

We’re so honored to be in the same industry with great people like Jerry Millen.

And we hope we can keep delivering great stories like these on our blog – and beyond.
