C.A.R.E. is a 501 C3 organization dedicated to spreading awareness about the benefits of the cannabis plant. I do that through events, social media, authoring articles and recently a children’s book, and informally lobbying elected officials.
My two main events are Green Oasis and The State of Cannabis. The Green Oasis is the ultimate green room for the artists performing at Coachella. It is the second weekend. I started it 7 years ago when I found out how anti cannabis the festival owner is. The mission is to not only gift the artists California’s best cannabis products, but also to educate them and inspire them to in turn educate their millions of fans. The State of Cannabis is a 2 day meeting of the minds where industry leaders, government, and regulators gather to create smart and sustainable cannabis policy.
ORDER "WHAT'S GROWING IN GRANDMA'S GARDEN"
One of the major stumbling blocks to normalization of cannabis is the irrational fear of "What about the children?" That is why I wrote this book. It's a tool to help grownups have a conversation with children about cannabis.

C.A.R.E. is proud to be hosting the premier cannabis event to coincide with the Coachella Music and Arts Festival. Our Green Oasis mission is to Weed & Feed the influencers that will be attending the festival, which has advertised its policy of being anti-medical marijuana. Green Oasis will serve as a fundraiser for our outreach program leading up to the 2016 California legalization campaign. It's also a friendraiser in an ideal setting to persuade the artists to donate a song to the campaign, create an iconic image, or go on camera to tell the voters why California should legalize cannabis in 2016. It's also an opportunity to cultivate celebrity endorsements and network with innovative canna-business leaders..
We are excited to announce that we confirmed a partnership with Cannabis Now Magazine that will expand our marketing outreach by over 3 MILLION fans. In addition, an event recap will capture activities and partners of this special event in their print/digital magazine issue. They are the ideal media partner for this event.
The main focus of Green Oasis is to showcase the best of the best in cannabis, and we're pretty sure that we've got the guy to make that happen. Enter cannabis expert Rick Pfrommer, Buyer for Harborside Health Center who has reviewed just about every award-winning cannabis strain in the world. Rick will serve as the Green Oasis Resident Ganjier, educating attendees about cannabis and sharing his experience and vast cannabis knowledge.
As we continue to build out our schedule of events for Green Oasis, we are committed to creating an interactive experience for our VIPs and guests. From cannabis influencers to mainstream celebrities, our approach is collaborative. Let us know if you are interested in getting involved with a one-of-a-kind experience during Coachella 2015. Sponsorship donations range from $500 - $10,000. Limited number of VIP Swag Bag placements are available. Contact Susan Soares at susan@justsaycare.org for opportunities.
