To benefit the Malibu Foundation, which supports victims of the Woolsey Fire.

As we return from holiday celebrations with friends and family and kick off 2019, let’s take a moment to help families and communities affected by the recent fires.

The Malibu Foundation, Future Cannabis Project, Emerald Exchange, California Cannabis Manufacturers Association, UCLA Canna Club, and AWA OASIA  are organizing a fundraiser on Friday, February 15th in downtown LA, from 12pm to 1am. Proceeds from the event will go directly to The Malibu Foundation, which is working to assist in recovery for victims of the Woolsey Fire.

Doors open at 12pm for general admission ticket holders. Afternoon activities include Yoga classes, massage therapists, musical performances and panel discussions. Evening activities include a chef dinner for those who purchase dinner tickets followed by a party with DJs for all ticket holders.

The Chef Dinner begins at 7. Throughout the dinner, a few people who have lost their homes will share their stories with attendees and update us on how we can continue to help, with time, money or support.

 

AFTERNOON
Doors open at 12pm for general admission ticket holders. The day kicks off with cannabis industry panel discussions. The health and wellness track, organized by CHAKRAS, will feature yoga classes, sound healing and massage therapy.
