2020 has been a year, and it’s barely half over.
But, our friends at TREC want two things: for you to get high and to support some awesome charities. We think that’s pretty neat.
Big changes need to happen in our lifetime to create a better world for generations to come. Businesses and large corporations can make a huge impact if they focus on people, planet and profit at the same time. This fuels sustainability. Our 10% for Good program is not only the right thing to do, but our consumers demand it.
- Trang Trinh, CEO
Look, we don’t know much about this crazy world, but we do know this: weed is cool and giving back to the community is cool as heck. TREC started their 10% for good initiative in hopes to create solutions for positive social impact. 10% of their gross profits from cannabis sales are donated back to communities they operate in. As they say, “Together we can move flowers and mountains”.
When you buy Blissed, WINK or THUMBS UP, you push for a positive change in the cannabis industry and the world.
Check out some awesome charities that TREC contributed to last year,
● Dress for Success empowers women to achieve economic independence through professional attire and development tools. In addition to funds, TREC contributed over 50 interview outfits.
● HXOUSE is a not-for-profit incubator program for young creative entrepreneurs, built on fostering innovation and creating connections between industry leaders and future talent.
● Evergreen helps create Canadian cities that are low carbon, inclusive and sustainable through various community-building programs.
● Cannabis Amnesty is a leader in the fight for cannabis pardons and justice for Canadians harmed by cannabis prohibition and historical policy.
In addition to the core causes, TREC Brands also supported the following organizations:
● Dovetail Basecamp hosts workshops for female entrepreneurs to build a supportive network to allow more women to thrive in business.
● SickKids Foundation improves the lives of children through care, research and teaching.
● Toronto Rehab helps people overcome the challenges of disabling injury, illness or other health conditions to live active, healthier and fuller lives.
● The Shoebox Project distributes boxes with self-care products to enhance the self-esteem of women at risk of homelessness in Canada.
● Casey House is a hospital specifically built for people with AIDS to offer an inclusive and caring environment.
● The George Hull Centre Foundation supports programs and resources to ensure mental wellness throughout all stages of life.
More recently, TREC donated 10 percent of its monthly profits to Black Lives Matter.
