CAMDENTON, Mo., June 17,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Vlasic Labs hosted the
second annual Vlasic Classic charity golf outing last week in
Missouri, marking the first of two
annual events dedicated to supporting the Last Prisoner Project.
This noteworthy charity is focused on the release and reentry of
individuals incarcerated for nonviolent cannabis-related offenses.
The event was funded by sponsors in the cannabis industry
representing over $1 billion in
annual revenue, including Show Me, Vivid, Illicit, Kushy Punch,
Robust, Good Day Farm, and more.
Vlasic Classic unites over 100 industry
leaders to support release and reentry for nonviolent cannabis
offenders
The Vlasic Classic in Missouri
featured a well-attended mixer, an 18-hole golf tournament, and a
prestigious awards gala. More than 100 key decision makers from
Missouri and around the country
participated as sponsors or on one of the 27 teams, representing
the majority of retailers in Missouri. Building on the success of this
event, Vlasic Labs is excited to announce the expansion of the
Vlasic Classic to Michigan, with
the next event scheduled for August
16-18 at Saint John's Resort in Plymouth.
The Vlasic Classic is a testament to the Vlasic family's
enduring legacy of philanthropy, which has seen significant
financial contributions to numerous important causes over the
decades. In his heartfelt speech at the awards gala, Rick Vlasic, Co-Founder of Vlasic Labs,
emphasized how the event encapsulates his late father's four great
passions: Family, Business, Philanthropy, and Golf.
"This event brings together the things we love most and allows
us to give back to the community in a significant way. The support
we received from the cannabis industry and the funds raised for the
Last Prisoner Project demonstrate the positive impact we can
achieve together," said Rick
Vlasic.
The Last Prisoner Project is dedicated to redressing the past
and continuing harms of the unjust War on Drugs. The funds raised
from the Vlasic Classic will go directly towards supporting legal
efforts, reentry programs, and advocacy work aimed at freeing
cannabis prisoners and helping them reintegrate into society.
As Vlasic Labs prepares for the Michigan Vlasic Classic, the
company is committed to continuing its tradition of philanthropy
and community support. The upcoming event promises to build on the
momentum and success of the Missouri outing, furthering the impact of the
Last Prisoner Project and celebrating the shared values of the
Vlasic family and their partners.
