Thanking Treez, Our Title Sponsor

We’re beyond grateful to our friends at Treez for supporting the 2nd Annual Budtender’s Ball & Community Awards as our Title Sponsor! Their innovative enterprise cloud commerce platform is helping cannabis retailers grow, scale, and thrive, and we’re honored to have them as part of this year’s celebration.

Thanks to Treez, we can make this event free for NJ industry workers with RSVP + state ID, ensuring our community can come together for this unforgettable evening of art, music, and culture.

Featured Highlights:

• Letters To Prisoners With Last Prisoner Project: As Cannademix stays true to our advocacy and equity roots, we have partnered with Last Prisoners Project to debut a unique activation for the ball. To help LPP and the shared belief that no one should be Incarcerated for Cannabis, we have teamed up to allow attendees to write letters to those still locked up for the plant we all enjoy. The letter station will be run by Paterson native, social equity license holder, and our dear friend Kyle Page, a formerly incarcerated individual freed through LPP and received letters like the ones you're about to make. We thank the Last Prisoners Project for all their work in the shared effort to help end the war on drugs.
