Khara Pechtes, of Food Flower Future, once again brought canna-connoisseurs together for delicious, celebratory and educational event in cannabis this June.
Pechtes, who has produced events for most of her career, brought to life a festive brunch that cultivated higher conversations around cannabis and honored Pride month with a strategic alliance with APLA Health, a California-based non-profit organization that helps serve the LGBTQIA+ and other underserved communities to help those living with HIV. In addition to collecting donated personal hygiene products, a percentage of the event’s proceeds were used to purchase in-kind donations. The event was the first cannabis event of its kind to align with APLA Health.
The welcoming cannabis community is creating a more cohesive picture that will continue to create a larger synergistic collective for the greater good of the public.
