Butler’s marijuana dispensary announced Tuesday a $15,000 donation to Butler County Community College.

Cresco Yeltrah, which has a facility in Butler, serves patients with a medical marijuana card that shows they have one of the 21 medical conditions approved by the state for treatment by the substance. The company also has location in Pittsburgh.

The donation was designated as an unrestricted gift, allowing the money to be used for a number of things, including funding scholarships and other activities.

Company officials took the opportunity to note that a third dispensary is expected to open soon in New Kensington.

The “beauty” of an unrestricted gift, said Ruth Purcell, executive director of the college’s Education Foundation, “is that it lets us use it where there is the greatest need.”

“When we opened in Butler County, we promised we would contribute $15,000 to a local organization,” D. Michael Hartley, dispensary cofounder, said in a statement.

Hartley is a former college trustee and board member of the Education Foundation.

“They are a great partner and resource for staff training,” Hartley said. “They also produce quality graduates and we’ve found some great talent to join our team.”

According to the statement, the gift can fund the President’s Scholarship, a full-tuition award presented annually to students in the top 10 percent of their graduating class at any of Butler County’s public high schools who enroll at the college in the semester following their commencement.

It can also fund $500 college scholarships for graduates of the Butler County Youth Leadership program and activities from Rho Phi, the college’s academic honor society.

“It is a just a great school, and a great asset for Butler County,” Hartley said.
