Cannabist Presented Check to American Legion Post 159 During Event

On Friday, Nov. 25, Cannabist hosted a check presentation ceremony at American Legion Post 159 in Williamstown, West Virginia. In honor of Veterans Day and to raise awareness for the American Legion’s missions, Cannabist donated a percentage of its weekly West Virginia retail sales to the American Legion, raising nearly $6,500.

Over 150 people attended the free event where Cannabist collected another $600 in donations, bringing their total to over $7,000 in support of the American Legion. At the event, attendees enjoyed live music, hourly door prizes, giveaways from local businesses and more.
The donations will allow the American Legion to fund scholarships for local high school students, send youth to State Capitols to learn about government, and help at-risk veterans with transitioning back into civilian life.

The American Legion is the nation’s largest wartime veterans service organization, committed to mentoring youth and sponsorship of wholesome programs in communities, advocating patriotism and honor, promoting strong national security, and continued devotion to fellow service members and veterans.

Cannabist – a retail brand that provides a higher experience built on passion, technology innovation, community commitment and product standards – has been an ongoing partner with the American Legion, where they have done an array of fundraisers for them in the past and have hosted program information and patient sign-up events at their local chapter for local veterans and the public.
