Shango Has Been Named to the Cannabis 50 List
Shango Has Been Named to the Cannabis 50 List

PORTLAND, Ore., Feb. 10, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Multistate cannabis company Shango has been named to the "Cannabis 50" List published by MGO (Macias Gini & O'Connell LLP), one of the fastest-growing professional services firms in the U.S.

MGO's 2nd annual Cannabis 50 list highlights companies, organizations and individuals that had a positive impact on the U.S. cannabis and hemp industries in 2020. MGO is a leader in accounting, tax, audit and advisory solutions for the cannabis and hemp industries.

Shango CEO Brandon Rexroad said, “This is a great honor from a prestigious organization. We are thrilled to be cited as one of the best cannabis companies in the country.”

"From a global health crisis and subsequent economic fallout, to cannabis being deemed 'essential' in a pandemic and the sweeping public support for legalization during the election, cannabis and hemp investors, operators and advocates endured great challenges but also made great strides forward, during 2020," says Scott Hammon, head of MGO's Cannabis Practice. "The Cannabis 50 is our way of recognizing those who are reshaping and inspiring the growth and success of the cannabis industry. We honor individuals and organizations who overcame obstacles to make progress during a transformative year."

Other notables on this year's list were Snoop Dogg, Martha Stewart, Willie Nelson, Jay-Z, Green Thumb Industries, Curaleaf, Leafly and Ocean Spray.

"In watching operators within the Cannabis industry navigate their growth, I think Shango has really stayed true to their vision. They value quality and their people, and put them first, while also being socially responsible within the communities they serve," says Francisco Colon, CPA and partner of MGO's Cannabis Practice.

Shango CEO Brandon Rexroad said, "This is a great honor from a prestigious organization. We are thrilled to be cited as one of the best cannabis companies in the country."

Honorees on the Cannabis 50 list appear in MGO's "Cannabis 50 Impact Review," and will be featured in expanded interviews and additional content, webinars and panels that will be rolled out throughout 2021.

The MGO honor included the following, "Shango takes a "community first" approach to their Corporate Social Responsibility program by adopting local causes and performs activations directly within their market areas. Each retail/dispensary location adopts their local Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) post and does direct fund-raising and charitable events. They've also partnered closely with Veterans Village in Las Vegas, raising funds and non-perishable food and clothing items. They are proactive advocates for Breast Cancer Awareness. They have a long-running "pink purchases" event in October that supports local charities like Ink Ribbon in Las Vegas, and they sponsor a breast cancer awareness radio show in Oregon for Breast Friends. Shango Moreno Valley is actively working within their community and have committed to monthly food drives of non-perishable food as well as fresh produce they receive from local farmers to help Unity of Faith Food Pantry along with the Salvation Army's Adopt a Family Program.

Specific criteria for making the list were not disclosed.
