Rare Cannabinoid Company To Donate 50% Of Hawaiian Choice CBD Oil Proceeds To Maui Strong Fire Relief Fund


Rare Cannabinoid Company announced that it will donate 50% of all Hawaiian Choice CBD Oil proceeds to the Hawaii Community Foundation’s Maui Strong Fund. Donations will continue throughout August to directly aid wildfire relief efforts in Lahaina and across Maui.

HONOLULU, Aug. 12, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Rare Cannabinoid Company announced that it will donate 50% of all Hawaiian Choice CBD Oil proceeds to the Hawaii Community Foundation’s Maui Strong Fund. Donations will continue throughout August to directly aid wildfire relief efforts in Lahaina and across Maui. 

“As a Hawaiian company, the devastation of Lahaina town and other parts of the Valley Isle hit close to home for all of us,” company co-founder Jennifer Carlile said.

Rare Cannabinoid Company is based on the Hawaiian island of Oahu. Employees are safe and production is unaffected. However, many of the company’s friends, family, customers, hemp farms, shops, and the clinics that carry their wellness products have been deeply affected. 

In fact, the broad spectrum Hawaiian CBD oil used in all Hawaiian Choice CBD Oil products comes from small farms on Maui. Most is grown in the rich soil of Haleakala Volcano’s slopes.

The company pointed out that they are donating half of the proceeds from each product purchased, not just the profit.

This means that half the money spent goes directly to support the wildfire relief effort.

You can see here how much goes to charity:

    • Pet CBD Customer pays $44.50. They donate $22.25.

In addition to using CBD oil from hemp grown on Maui, their Hawaiian CBD products also contain real infusions of pineapple, passion fruit, noni, hibiscus, honey and essential oils. Many of these Hawaiian fruits and botanicals come from small farms on Maui as well as Kauai, Oahu, and the Big Island of Hawaii.

Prior to the fires on Maui, Rare Cannabinoid Company had some special deals and offers running and will continue those in addition to the Hawaiian Choice donations. Those offers are:

    • For every $75 spent, a customer will receive a Free Packet of 10 THC Mood Gummies ($25 value). If they spend $150, they will get two free packets ($50 value) etc. THC Mood Gummies each contain 5mg hemp-derived Delta 9 THC Oil as well as high levels of CBC oil and CBD oil. They are vegan, all natural, mint and lime flavored, and ship to all U.S. locations.
    • 50% Off CBDA Oil Tincture (CBDA is good for occasional nausea, appetite improvement, discomfort)
    • 50% Off CBGA + Hawaiian CBD + CBDA Oil Tincture (Excellent for supporting a healthy immune system as well as nausea, pain and inflammation after exercise)
    • There is always free U.S. shipping on all orders of $75+

Rare Cannabinoid Company grew out of Hawaiian Choice CBD Oil to offer the largest selection of rare cannabinoid and terpene oils and gummies. These include: THCV oils and extra strength THCV gummies for energy and appetite suppression, CBN products for sleep, and CBG gummies for discomfort and soreness, as well as CBC oils, CBDV distillate, terpene-only tinctures and more.

Products can be found in about 400 locations across the United States and worldwide.

The Hawaiian CBD and cannabinoid company asks people to please keep Maui in their thoughts. Donations can also be made directly to Maui Strong or to other reputable charities listed on Hawaii News Now. Go Fund Me also has a verified list of fundraisers.

PXG Announces $1M Donation to Help with Relief Efforts for the Maui Disaster


PXG Provides Support for Veteran-led Disaster Relief Organization Team Rubicon

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Aug. 12, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — PXG, a company dedicated to developing the world’s finest golf equipment and apparel, today announced a one-million-dollar donation to Team Rubicon, a veteran-led disaster relief organization. The funds will support Team Rubicon’s ability to provide immediate support in Maui, Hawaii.

By pairing the skills and experiences of military veterans with first responders, medical professionals, and technology solutions, the organization mobilizes highly trained teams to provide the greatest impact possible.

“Team Rubicon quickly coordinates and deploys trained military veterans, first responders, and civilians as volunteers for disaster relief efforts,” PXG Founder and CEO Bob Parsons stated. “We have witnessed the dedicated volunteers who make up its ranks fall in to embrace and empower devastated communities. Today, we look to bolster their efforts in Maui and help their boots on the ground to do what they do best.”

“In the past ten years, Team Rubicon has built a dedicated team of over 1,000 Greyshirt volunteer leaders in Hawaii. Currently, we have boots on the ground and are in close communication with local authorities and emergency managers to offer our immediate help in shelter set ups, food distribution, donation management and distribution, and staff for the local Emergency Operation Center,” said Art delaCruz, Team Rubicon CEO. “We are extremely grateful to our partners at PXG for their unwavering commitment to supporting those in need.”

Over the years, Team Rubicon has supported the communities of Hawaii with fire mitigation projects and operations on several of the islands. In May, volunteers conducted a wildfire mitigation operation in Honolulu at the request of Hawaii Firewise. Team Rubicon last supported the island of Maui with a storm response in December 2021.

This isn’t the first time that PXG has supported Team Rubicon. Following Hurricane Harvey in 2017, PXG’s commitment of one million dollars helped fuel Team Rubicon’s immediate response. The donation also helped kick-off a pilot “Rebuild” program committed to rebuilding 100 homes in the Houston area. Similarly, PXG’s million-dollar donation for Hurricane Irma relief funded much of the response.

A committed partner, PXG also supported Hurricane Florence relief efforts and, through an innovative “Essential Face Mask” campaign led by President and Executive Creative Director of PXG Apparel Renee Parsons, helped raise awareness of Team Rubicon’s Neighbors Helping Neighbors COVID-19 initiative.

PXG supported relief efforts in Louisiana in 2020. Within hours of Hurricane Laura making landfall, Team Rubicon was on the ground working to clear roadways to help first responders. In the hours and days following, Team Rubicon deployed more Greyshirts to Louisiana and Texas, ultimately resulting in over 800 volunteer deployments between the two states during their response work. In the wake of the storm PXG Founder and CEO Bob Parsons traveled to Louisiana to see Team Rubicon’s efforts in action and evaluate the devastation in-person. As a result of the visit, PXG and The Bob & Renee Parsons Foundation donated two-million dollars to support the needs of the Louisiana community.

X-Rite eLearning Webinar Helps Customers Go Beyond Color to Visualize Appearance in Product Design


X-Rite webinar showcases the importance of appearance on final product color and demonstrates how brands and manufacturers can capture, communicate, and digitally render appearance characteristics for a more efficient and sustainable workflow.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Aug. 10, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — X-Rite Incorporated and Pantone LLC, global leaders in color science and technology, will host a free eLearning webinar on August 29th that goes beyond color to highlight how companies can digitally capture and communicate a material’s appearance in product designs. By transforming a physical material into a digital twin or virtual prototype, automotive, electronics, apparel, and durable goods companies can streamline product design, enable remote visual approvals, and reduce oversampling.

“Both color and appearance play an essential role in product design, yet even experienced professionals may not fully understand how a material’s appearance attributes such as texture, gloss, reflection, or other special effects will impact the product’s final color,” said Thomas Meeker, 3D solution architect, X-Rite. “In this webinar, we discuss the importance of appearance on final color and demonstrate how to capture, communicate, and digitally render appearance characteristics for use across multifunctional teams and with suppliers around the globe.”

During this webinar, attendees will:

  • Watch a demonstration of the latest release of X-Rite’s appearance software, PANTORA™.
  • See how PANTORA connects with X-Rite Ci7000 benchtop Series, MA-T12 multi-angle, and MetaVue VS3200 spectrophotometers to capture color and appearance.
  • Discover how to measure and import data directly into PANTORA to store, edit, and create virtual material samples for plastics, metals, fabrics, leather, meshes, paints, and structured coatings.
  • Learn how Appearance Exchange Format (AxF™) data can be shared across Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), CAD, and 3D rendering software.

“Digital material twins can be used at each step of the product development process, from marketing to production and quality control, to ensure a consistent representation in both the virtual and physical world,” continued Meeker. “This revolutionary technology enables companies to innovate and accelerate the design to manufacturing process by remotely assessing variations, ensuring products are within tolerance, and verifying all aspects of a final assembled product.”

The webinar will be held Tuesday, August 29 at 10 a.m. Eastern. Registration is available at https://www.xrite.com/learning-color-education/webinars/leveraging-color-and-appearance-for-product-design

Local Government Information Services Improve Services and Efficiency


NYC area expert explains how LGIS – local government information services play a key role in meeting municipal agency challenges—in a new article from Messaging Architects

HOBOKEN, N.J., Aug. 10, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Messaging Architects, an eMazzanti Technologies Company and information governance expert, explains LGIS – local government information services in a new article. The informative article first reviews some of the unique information challenges in municipal governments, including diverse and complex data sets, FOIA requests, data siloes, regulations, and resource shortages.

The author then relates how some municipalities leverage innovative information technology solutions to improve services, efficiency, and citizen engagement. He cites examples of successful efforts by an Arizona agency and the city of Henderson, Nevada to streamline customer services, make data more accessible and use scarce resources more efficiently. He concludes by listing several advantages of updating local government information services, including improved efficiency, enhanced communication, and increased transparency and accountability.

“By leveraging information technology in innovative ways, governments can improve services, drive productivity, and increase citizen engagement,” stated Greg Smith, Vice President of Services Delivery at Messaging Architects.

Below are a few excerpts from the article, “LGIS – Local Government Information Services Improve Services and Efficiency.”

Government Agencies Face Unique Information Challenges

“Because of the services they provide and the position they fill in society, municipalities face a particular set of challenges. In the first place, they deal with diverse and complex data sets, from public documents to health records and environmental data. Keeping sensitive data secure while ensuring that the right stakeholders can access it requires a delicate balancing act.”

“Governmental agencies must also comply with FOIA requests. And responding to such requests in a timely manner proves difficult without solid information governance. When information lives in multiple isolated repositories, it can be difficult to locate and access relevant data. These siloes also lead to data duplication and inaccuracy.”

Innovative Solutions

“The city of Henderson, Nevada embarked on a mission to make appropriate data available more widely. The city trained staff to use data to make their own jobs easier and allowed public stakeholders to work with it. This has resulted in 17 custom-built, public-facing applications that received 4,600 views in one month alone.”

“Other municipalities have successfully employed AI to automate processes, enhance services and generate insights. The city of Boston, for instance, uses AI to analyze 311 (non-emergency) requests and prioritize them based on urgency and impact.”

Information Governance and LGIS Experts

Implementing a solid information governance strategy will streamline processes and protect data now while setting the stage for the future. The municipal information governance consultants at Messaging Architects can provide critical expertise and guidance in this process.

Compass to Care Childhood Cancer Foundation Receives the SBB Research Group Foundation Grant


Compass to Care Childhood Cancer Foundation received a $5,000 grant from the SBB Research Group Foundation, which awards monthly grants to support impactful organizations.

CHICAGO, Aug. 4, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Compass to Care Childhood Cancer Foundation received a $5,000 grant from the SBB Research Group Foundation, which awards monthly grants to support impactful organizations.

Compass to Care Childhood Cancer Foundation is a nonprofit organization that eliminates transportation barriers to healthcare for children living in poverty who are being treated for cancer.

The Foundation accomplishes this through three non-emergency medical transportation solutions (NEMT) that allow families free transportation services for all cancer-related medical treatments. These solutions reduce cancer survival discrepancies, giving all children hope for a cancer cure.

Founder and CEO Michelle May of Compass to Care shares, “The social determinants of health and living in poverty are the differentiating factor that determines whether or not children can have survival rates of what is potentially possible.”

The organization’s success is due to Compass to Care’s strong relationships with hospitals and medical centers that treat pediatric cancer. Open communication with social workers and medical professionals allows families to connect with Compass and have their transportation needs tailored to their treatment requirements.

“Compass to Care gives families hope that their child can receive proper care without worrying about travel,” said Matt Aven, co-founder and board member of the SBB Research Group Foundation.

The organization will use the SBB Research Group Foundation grant for the transportation needs of children in the community. This grant will empower families to make timely decisions about getting their children to cancer care, with the hope of long-term survival.

About the SBB Research Group Foundation
The SBB Research Group Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that furthers the philanthropic mission of SBB Research Group LLC (SBBRG), a Chicago-based investment management firm led by Sam Barnett, Ph.D., and Matt Aven. The Foundation provides grants to support ambitious organizations solving unmet needs with thoughtful, long-term strategies. In addition, the Foundation sponsors the SBBRG STEM Scholarship, which supports students pursuing science, technology, engineering, and mathematics degrees.
