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:
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:
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.

Facing Forward to End Homelessness is a nonprofit organization that offers safe and stable housing, whole-family case management, and a suite of supportive services that aid in ending generational cycles of homelessness.

“We are proud to support an organization like Facing Forward to End Homelessness that improves the quality of life for families for generations,” said Matt Aven, co-founder and board member of the SBB Research Group Foundation.
The organization will use the SBB Research Group Foundation grant to support general operations at Facing Forward, including equipment and supplies for the provision of direct services, staff salaries and training, and administrative and overhead costs.

Report from Leading Zero Trust Edge Cloud Security Company iboss and education nonprofit Project Tomorrow Reveals Lack of Collaboration in Schools is Contributing to Increased Cyber Risk. More than 84% of District Leaders and Administrators Agree That K-12 Schools are at a Higher Risk for Cyber Attacks than Ever Before.
BOSTON, Aug. 8, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Cyber threats against K-12 school districts are on the rise, yet only minimal steps are being taken at the local level to safeguard district technology assets and student information, according to a new research report from iboss, the leading Zero Trust Edge cloud security provider and Project Tomorrow.
The report, Why A Different Cybersecurity Ecosystem Is Needed Today, details findings from K-12 district, technology, and communications leaders on the cybersecurity challenges they’re facing today. iboss developed the report in partnership with Project Tomorrow, a national education nonprofit dedicated to supporting the effective implementation of research- based learning experiences in K-12 schools.
The report serves as a call to districts to implement a cross-organizational strategy and a new cybersecurity ecosystem to combat the present and future threats to the security of their district technology assets—and, crucially, their students. Additionally, the report encourages districts to incorporate cybersecurity best practices into sustainable new policies and procedures in order to adequately protect district digital assets, including student and staff personal data.
The findings should alarm school district leaders and parents, as cybersecurity incidents in schools can put student information at risk of being stolen, cripple emergency communications systems, and potentially shut down schools entirely. This year saw high profile incidents that impacted Baltimore, Minneapolis and Des Moine school districts among others. The data concludes that:
Although translating the awareness of cyber threats into actual support on the district level continues to be difficult. However, the district leaders surveyed contributed potential solutions to combat apathy, including continued education about the reality of cyber risks, full and regular risk assessments, and implementing small procedural changes to obtain buy-in and demonstrate successful results.
“With cyber-attacks it’s not a matter of if, but when,” said Mark Racine, Chief Information Officer at Boston Public Schools and iboss customer. “It will happen, but the severity and extent of the attack, response, and remediation will show how well-prepared the district is. With our district response plans, everyone is involved and informed. I believe being upfront and honest in the event of an attack should be the general disposition of every district”.
“I’ve worked in both the tech and non-profit education sectors and found that enterprises have much greater awareness of cyber risk and are more willing to take action than schools,” said Dr. Julie A. Evans, CEO of Project Tomorrow. “This might be because historically, technology departments at schools have had little interaction with other departments. That has to change. IT teams must work cooperatively with administration and other departments to share their knowledge to prevent further breaches and attacks.”
