State & Main's annual For Mom, For Women campaign raised $38,250 for local charities that support women across 23 cities in Canada.

State & Main, which has an Aurora location, donated $10 for every fulfilled Mother’s Day reservation from May 6 to 14 to 22 different non-profits across the country, including Rose of Sharon in Newmarket in support of young mothers.

“We’re thankful for all the Canadians who chose to celebrate Mother’s Day at State & Main during our For Mom, For Women campaign.
