Hollowtips Hosts Charitable Fundraiser to Support Local Nonprofit
LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) May 19, 2023 -- Hollowtips, an award-winning cannabis brand in Los Angeles, will host its first charitable fundraising party at the Mayfair Hotel in downtown LA on Friday, May 19. All proceeds will benefit the Han-Schneider International Children's Foundation (HSICF), a nonprofit organization that provides essential services such as food, education and clothing to children in need around the world, including countries such as Tanzania, Cambodia and Vietnam.
The fundraising goal for the event is $100,000 to support "Operation Viet NAM", a project to build and maintain a new school in the Nam Tra My province in central Vietnam. Once the fundraising goal has been met, HSICF plans to break ground in early summer and open the preschool in September providing up to 50 children with education and daily meals. The money raised from the event will go towards materials, construction, staff, food, school supplies and a two-year operating cost.
“Giving back to the local and global community is an important aspect of the Hollowtips culture and to me personally,” said CEO Michael Tu. “I've contributed to HSICF for many years and even participated in a humanitarian trip to Cambodia a few years ago. I was able to witness first-hand the work that they're doing to uplift children's lives, so we are humbled and happy to support this worthy cause."
The inspiration for this unique collaboration between Hollowtips and HSICF stems from a personal connection ‒ Arthur Han from Hollowtips is also the executive director for the foundation. Han's father founded HSICF and when he passed away, Han decided to honor his father’s wishes by continuing the foundation and has been the executive director since 2012.
"This is our first in-person fundraiser since the pandemic so I'm excited that Hollowtips is hosting this party and is helping to spread awareness for the foundation that my father started," said Han. "This event is a bit different than the fundraisers we've hosted in the past because it specifically targets companies in the cannabis industry who have been supportive and are eager to give back as well."
Attendees at this rooftop party will enjoy hors d'oeuvres, raffle giveaways and exclusive entertainment, including a fire performer and music provided by celebrity DJ Carisma from Power 106. Presale tickets are $25 and will be $50 at the door. Tables and event sponsor opportunities are still available.
