  • Announced today that, further to its press release dated April 1st, 2020, it has received an additional US$325K (approx. CA $457K) under the exclusive agreement with a US based tunneling company
  • To date, the Company has received US $725K (over CA $1M) in total

MONTREAL, April 21, 2020  — PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (http://pyrogenesis.com) (TSX-V: PYR) (OTCQB: PYRNF) (FRA: 8PY), a high-tech company, (the “Company”, the “Corporation” or “PyroGenesis”) that designs, develops, manufactures and commercializes plasma atomized metal powder, plasma waste-to-energy systems and plasma torch systems, is pleased to announce today that, further to its press release dated April 1st, 2020, it has received an additional US$325K (approx. CA $457K) under the exclusive agreement (the “Agreement”) with a US based tunneling company (the “Client”). To date, the Company has received US $725K (over CA $1M) in total. The Client’s name will remain anonymous for confidentiality and competitive reasons.

“This is an ideal contract, given the current situation, where all the engineering work can be done remotely,” said Mr. Peter Pascali, CEO of PyroGenesis Canada Inc. “This relationship is timely, given the current environment where investors are more focused on multiple secure revenue streams.  It is important to note that this relationship was not born out of the current crisis and, as such, is expected to continue well after the pandemic is behind us.”

Under this Agreement, PyroGenesis will not only develop and supply high-powered plasma torches, specifically designed for tunneling applications, but will also be intimately involved in all aspects of design and development for the entire project. Upon success, the Client is committed to purchase exclusively, and PyroGenesis is committed to exclusively supplying, plasma torches and auxiliary equipment for these applications. The scope of work is now comprised of several phases, each being defined by the results from the former.

PyroGenesis’ high-powered plasma torch will be used to replace traditional tunneling methods. An important benefit in using plasma-based tools versus traditional methods, is its potential to drill through all geologies with greater flexibility in size diameter, while at the same time being more economical, efficient and environmentally friendly.

“Once again, this Agreement underscores our plasma torch expertise, and we are pleased to be applying it to a very unique and significant opportunity,” said Mr. Alex Pascali, Business Development Manager of PyroGenesis. “This highlights the fact that we not only sell plasma torches, but also provide the expertise required to develop cutting edge plasma-based applications. The Company continues to increase revenues and reduce risk by diversifying its customer base with a standard product offering.  This is just one of many exciting developments at PyroGenesis these days.”

  • An application for approval was made to Health Canada under the Fast-Track program on April 9th, 2020
  • As part of the submission, the Company has submitted a Medical Devices Interim Order Request Form under Interim Order
  • Interim Order (IO) will allow Health Canada to issue expedited review and approval for the sale of these test kits in Canada

TORONTO, April 21, 2020 — Datametrex AI Limited (the “Company” or “Datametrex”) (TSXV: DM, FSE: D4G, OTC: DTMXF ) wishes to provide additional specifics on the previously announced news release regarding acquiring the rights to import COVID-19 test kits from South Korea. An application for approval was made to Health Canada under the Fast-Track program on April 9th, 2020.

As part of the submission, the Company has submitted a Medical Devices Interim Order Request Form under Interim Order Respecting the Importation and Sale of Medical Devices for Use in Relation to COVID-19 pursuant to subsection 30.1(1) of the Food and Drugs Act signed by the Minister of Health on March 18, 2020. This Interim Order (IO) will allow Health Canada to issue expedited review and approval for the sale of these test kits in Canada.

The Company has represented to Health Canada that it will be able to provide a minimum first order of 200,000 units, followed by an additional 100,000 units on a weekly basis. Any purchase of the test kits by the Canadian government is conditional on prior receipt of Health Canada approval. Datametrex is currently working with Dr. Lisa Palleson-Stallan and Dr. Joseph Curtis to assist with obtaining Health Canada approval, and each has agreed to join the Company’s advisory board.

Dr. Joseph Curtis is the Chief Scientific Officer and founder of BioQuant Laboratories (BQL) an independent testing laboratory providing analytical testing services to firms across the U.S. and Canada developing natural product medicines for human and animal health. Dr. Curtis has twenty-five years of experience across and has held various executive positions within public and private sector firms. Working across the public health emergency medical countermeasures continuum, he supported the USA’s blood and tissue preparedness and response programs managed by the American Red Cross. In this capacity, he served as the Director, Biomedical Headquarters Facility Quality Assurance coordinating performance excellence programs across a nation-wide network of manufacturing and testing facilities delivering $2 billion of cellular therapies and transfusion medicine products to over 3,000 hospitals across the US.

Dr. Lisa Palleson-Stallan obtained her Ph.D in International Business with Honours in the U.K. She ran a European Union funded project on technology and Innovation and completed post doctoral work at the World Health Organization (WHO) publishing on Tobacco Cessation. She created her first retail company, Lotuswear, which grew into a 100 employee + company and had the role as presidentand CEO. She became an early adopter in several industries and has continued building value from the ground up. She has built a successful consultancy company that targets the Asian marketplace within the Health space. Dr Palleson-Stallan has been given role and title of Global Health Advisor to assist the Chinese Government with unconditional support and authority to conduct negotiations regarding how to best to combat the spread of Covid-19.

“We are thrilled to be in a position to bring high quality test kits to Canada to help flatten the curve and save lives. We are doing everything we can to provide Health Canada with the required information to move forward. We are looking forward to solving these problems alongside Dr. Palleson-Stallan and Dr. Curtis.”, says Marshall Gunter, CEO of the Company.

Datametrex anticipates that it will have little or no upfront costs associated with importing these test kits. Assuming Health Canada approves the test kits and they are subsequently purchased by the Canadian government, manufacturer will ship the test kits directly to the Canadian government or hospitals, and Datametrex will not be involved in the shipping, warehousing or distribution process.

NORTHBUD $NBUD.ca – Virtual 4/20: How the #Cannabis Industry Is Adapting Its Signature Holiday for Quarantine $CGC $ACB $APH $CRON.ca $OGI.ca

Virtual 4/20: How the Cannabis Industry Is Adapting Its Signature Holiday for Quarantine

Dispensaries get creative, and celebrities join in, as gatherings give way to livestreams

  • Despite all the gloom facing society as 4/20 approaches, it’s predicted to be a massive sales day, contributing to what BDS Analytics thinks will be a 30% jump in retail cannabis sales this year to $17 billion.

  By T.L. Stanley Harvest House of Cannabis  

Many cannabis fans are as devoted to their unofficial holiday, April 20, as some people are to Christmas, Halloween or the Fourth of July. In recent years, as cannabis has grown in mainstream acceptance and legality, 4/20 has been marked with parties and concerts, stadium-sized festivals and pot versions of pub crawls.

But not this year, as the coronavirus response has blocked public gatherings, gutted the experiential industry, canceled nearly every major 4/20 event and substantially altered marketers’ approaches  to the day.

The celebrations will go on, though, as organizers pivot from real-world to virtual gatherings, lining up talent like Wiz Khalifa, Billy Ray Cyrus, Berner and Kid Astronaut for marathon live streams that revelers can watch from the safety of their couches.

Delivery services are prepped for heavy volume in the wake of a record-setting mid-March sales surge, and brands in the space are giving consumers quarantine-friendly ideas to replace their usual in-person meetups and smokeouts. “This is a chance for the cannabis community to model to the rest of the world how holidays should be handled during periods of social crisis.” —Steve DeAngelo, co-founder, Harborside dispensary

Dispensaries in states where they’re considered “essential businesses”—and therefore allowed to stay open, while following strict safety protocols and social distancing rules—are leaning into their curbside pickup and contactless delivery options. They’ll be trying to discourage exactly the kinds of crowds at their venues that they’ve actively fostered in the past.

Mainstream, non-cannabis brands that have latched onto the holiday with psychedelic stoner-cliched ads and memes may sit it out all together, similar to this year’s approach to April Fools’ Day, so as not to appear flip or insensitive (or simply wasteful with their resources) during the current pandemic and economic downturn.

All things considered, 4/20 is expected to shed some of the raucous overkill and “amateur night” feel of the recent past in favor of a more thoughtful, subdued vibe.  

“You don’t generally associate 4/20 with restraint,” says Steve DeAngelo, a longtime cannabis activist and co-founder of the Harborside dispensary chain in the Bay Area. “But this is a chance for the cannabis community to model to the rest of the world how holidays should be handled during periods of social crisis.”

Taking no chances, the mayor of San Francisco has publicly warned cannabis devotees not to travel to or gather in the famously open-minded destination, known for its 4/20 meet-ups in places like Golden Gate Park. “We will cite people. We will arrest people if necessary,” London Breed says in an Instagram video. And the Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board sent out a list of do’s and don’ts to licensed businesses, telling them not to schedule events, hire food trucks or live bands or try in any way to attract large crowds.

Another green rush

Despite all the gloom facing society as 4/20 approaches, it’s predicted to be a massive sales day, contributing to what BDS Analytics thinks will be a 30% jump in retail cannabis sales this year to $17 billion. 

One of the previous high water marks for the industry was April 20, 2019, when recreational cannabis sales increased more than 100%, versus the prior week, in states like California, Colorado, Nevada and Washington, according to cannabis data firm Headset.

“Since 4/20 is on a Monday this year, the sales uptick could start over the weekend or maybe even mid-week,” says Liz Connors, Headset’s director of analytics.

Weedmaps, a national cannabis delivery platform, is girding for a second green rush, following the March spike in sales as stay-at-home mandates were announced. “Conservative estimates could very well put us around eight times the order volume over our baseline, and four to five times what we typically see on this holiday annually,” according to CMO Juanjo Feijoo.

Nickel prices jump after Vale trims output target – SPONSOR Tartisan #Nickel $TN.ca – $ROX.ca $FF.ca $EDG.ca $AGL.ca $ANZ.ca

Nickel prices jump after Vale trims output target

  • Vale cuts 2020 output for nickel, copper
  • “Vale’s cut to production has supported the market but mines closing production is not too new as we knew some mines would shut,” said Commerzbank analyst Daniel Briesemann.

By Zandi Shabalala

LONDON, April 20 (Reuters) – Nickel prices jumped to their highest in more than a month on Monday after mining company Vale slashed its annual output target for the stainless steel ingredient due to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

Benchmark nickel on the London Metal Exchange (LME) was 4% higher at $12,520 per tonne at 1600 GMT, after earlier jumping to its highest since March 13 at $12,535.

“Vale’s cut to production has supported the market but mines closing production is not too new as we knew some mines would shut,” said Commerzbank analyst Daniel Briesemann.

“The negative impact of the virus is more severe for the demand side and the market could be well oversupplied this year.”

Vale, one of the world’s top producers of nickel, cut its 2020 production forecast for the metal to 180,000-195,000 tonnes from 200,000-210,000, excluding its unit in New Caledonia, because of the impact of the novel coronavirus outbreak.

Japan’s Sumitomo Corporation has also shut down output at a nickel mine in Madagascar while major nickel producer the Philippines closed some of its mines to curb transmission of the virus.

CHINESE DEMAND: Demand for nickel picked up slightly in March as China reopened its economy. Stainless steel futures surged as much as 4.4% on Monday.

2020 BALANCE: Despite the mounting supply cuts, a Reuters poll showed that the nickel market is expected to be in surplus of 89,000 tonnes this year.

CHINA ECONOMY: China, the world’s top metals consumer, cut its interest rate for a second time after its economy contracted for the first time in decades. The move – which was widely expected – is aimed at cushioning the world’s second largest economy against the impact of the coronavirus.

COPPER SMELTING: Global copper smelting slid in March, driven by shutdowns in China but started to recover at the end of the month, according to an index based on satellite surveillance of copper plants.

ALUMINIUM INVENTORIES: Aluminium stocks in LME-registered warehouses soared 46,275 tonnes, helping to lift inventories available to the market to 1.18 million tonnes which is the highest since Dec. 20. MALSTX-TOTAL

SPREAD: The discount of LME cash aluminium to the three-month contract CMCU0-3 was at $37.75 a tonne, reflecting expectations for oversupply.

80% of Americans believe they read #coronavirus “fake news” in the early stages of the epidemic – SPONSOR: Datametrex AI Limited $DM.ca

80% of Americans believe they read coronavirus “fake news” in the early stages of the epidemic

  • A Pew survey of 8,914 US adults found that 4 in 5 Americans believe they were misled by the media about the coronavirus situation
  • About half of the participants gave examples of this misinformation, and at least a part of it wasn’t actually fake news

by Mihai Andrei

We’ve been covering the COVID-19 pandemic since January, when it was still a “mysterious virus in Wuhan”. Like everyone else, we didn’t know what to make of it at first — and we were shocked to see how quickly and dramatically the situation developed.

We did our best to cover the available information accurately, but we noticed something weird happening in the comment section and the emails we were getting. A lot of people were upset with our coverage and felt like we weren’t communicating the threat properly — about half of the complaints were saying we were exaggerating the risks. The other half claimed we weren’t explaining the risks enough. Source: Pew Research Center.

A similar feeling seems to be reported in much of the American population. The largest group of responses in the Pew survey (41% of all who provided claims) felt they were misled about the level of risk. The sentiment was divided into two roughly equal sides: 22% felt the information falsely elevated the risk, while 15% felt it downplayed the risk. In particular, people in the latter group cited not only the media but also the administration and the president, who promised an early end to the problem and repeatedly underplayed the risks posed by the coronavirus.

It’s safe to say that President Trump’s intervention has been a major contributor to misinformation, as he repeatedly came out saying that the coronavirus is less dangerous than the flu. But this statement was also found in several media outlets. Just as the administration fumbled its response on multiple levels, so, too, did the media by taking too long in communicating a clear message about the coronavirus situation.

It was only on March 15 when the CDC told the country to stop gathering in groups, and at the time, the virus was already spreading in the US. The government also urged people not to buy any type of face masks, but then changed its recommendation, causing even more confusion.

Americans’ opinions are also mixed about how much misinformation they have seen. According to the Pew survey, 12% believe they’ve seen “a lot”, and 20% believe they’ve seen “none at all”, with the rest stating that they’ve seen “some” or “not much” misinformation.

betterU $BTRU.ca & OttoLearn Join Forces to Quickly Deploy Critical COVID-19 Resources $ARCL $CPLA $BPI $FC.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 1:07 PM on Monday, April 20th, 2020
  • As COVID-19 spread around the world, its speed was surpassed only by the rapid transmission of misinformation.
  • betterU Ready-To-Go COVID-19 toolkit is available, free, to anyone with an internet-connected device. betterU is building and maintaining the content, and OttoLearn is providing free usage licenses

By: Pamela S. Hogle

In the wake of disruption to education, business, and leisure, threats to the health and lives of millions of people, betterU CEO Brad Loiselle knew he had to do something.

He needed a platform to deliver vetted, accurate information, including text and video resources, to users of all ages, anywhere in the world. It had to be mobile-first, and it had to be available in multiple languages. 

betterU had started working with OttoLearn in 2019 to create and distribute corporate training globally. That’s how Loiselle knew that OttoLearn was the right tool to get accurate information on COVID-19 into people’s hands, fast.

OttoLearn & betterU deliver free COVID-19 toolkit

Ottawa-based betterU is a multilingual digital learning powerhouse, with a library of educational and training content, Ready-To-Go, that comprises training for dozens of industries. With betterU customers and learners spanning the globe, Loiselle knew that his company was ideally positioned to make a difference.

In 2019, Loiselle had searched for a scalable platform to upskill millions of workers in India, in multiple languages. He needed to provide mobile eLearning without requiring complicated individual integrations for each customer.

Extensive research on eLearning platforms from vendors around the world led Loiselle to his own backyard — Winnipeg-based eLearning experts at Neovation Learning Solutions and their OttoLearn Agile Microlearning platform. OttoLearn’s mobile-first multilingual platform was a perfect fit for betterU’s needs. 

“I can say this confidently — it’s the most comprehensive resource toolkit that exists today. I haven’t seen anything out there so far that has brought together so many elements to support so many different people.” — betterU CEO Brad Loiselle

With OttoLearn’s rapid content building, it took Loiselle and a colleague only a week to create  a comprehensive COVID-19 toolkit.

The betterU Ready-To-Go COVID-19 toolkit is available, free, to anyone with an internet-connected device. betterU is building and maintaining the content, and OttoLearn is providing free usage licenses.

“I was thrilled to partner with Brad and betterU to quickly bring this vital resource to users globally — at their moment of greatest urgency.” — Neovation Learning Solutions CEO Dan Belhassen

Essential information at users’ fingertips

As of early April, the resource kit was already available in six languages, with 14 more in the works. Loiselle made sure the content was accessible to all users — the toolkit even includes video resources that feature sign-language interpretation.

“The great thing about [OttoLearn] is it has the ability to convert text-based information into different languages. It’s a huge advantage.” — betterU CEO Brad Loiselle

The COVID-19 toolkit covers multiple “tracks” or types of information, including:

  • Updates, charts, and directives from governmental and international organizations, such as the World Health Organization, the World Economic Forum, and country-by-country resources
  • Factual information about COVID-19, its spread, and its symptoms and self-care
  • Work-from-home resources, such as videoconferencing links and tutorials
  • Online learning and life-at-home resources, from exercise to guidance on avoiding feelings of isolation
  • Age-appropriate information and resources for children
  • Fun resources, ranging from songs to games and puzzles
  • A comprehensive collection of all Canadian resources, assistance, government aid, including resources for indigenous communities

Some of the resources are static, while other links update in real-time to ensure accurate and current information about COVID-19. Content includes text, links, maps and infographics, videos, games, and more.

The curated content easily enables any user to quickly find related, relevant, factual information, from trusted and reliable sources — on demand and on any mobile device.

OttoLearn makes it possible

The COVID-19 toolkit showcases Otto’s abilities to rapidly create, deploy, and update information-rich content.

Key features that helped Loiselle build and deliver the COVID-19 toolkit in record time include:

  • Rapid building of multimedia knowledge cards to provide factual content and links
  • AI-based multilingual translation
  • Mobile-first, desktop friendly delivery
  • Ability to update content in real time
  • Instantly scalable to unlimited users
  • Responsive & skilled support team at Neovation

Loiselle also cited Neovation’s culture as a huge advantage: “Your company is so collaborative … I love your company.”

Eyecarrot $EYC.ca Sports Vision Partnership with Eli Wilson Goaltending Redefines How 50,000 Aspiring Goalies See the Game

Eyecarrot | LinkedIn
  • Announced a multi-year partnership with Eli Wilson Goaltending, a world leader in goaltending development, goaltending camps, and clinics
  • Eli Wilson has established himself as one of the premier goaltending coaches in the world through his work with dozens of goaltenders in the National Hockey League (NHL) and Team Canada

Toronto, New York -  April 20th, 2020 – Eyecarrot Innovations Corp., (Eyecarrot) (TSXV:EYC) | (OTC:EYCCF) | (2EYA:GR) is excited to announce a multi-year partnership with Eli Wilson Goaltending, a world leader in goaltending development, goaltending camps, and clinics. Eli Wilson has established himself as one of the premier goaltending coaches in the world through his work with dozens of goaltenders in the National Hockey League (NHL) and Team Canada. The partnership will provide Eli Wilson Goaltending camps with the Binovi Touch neurovision sports training hardware, alongside screen-based resources for athletes to support their development on and off the ice. The Eli Wilson Goaltending partnership will ultimately expose 600 active goaltending camp participants, aged 10 to 19 years and a global network of over 50,000 aspiring goaltending athletes to Eyecarrot’s Binovi Sport Vision Platform for off-ice training. As many nations continue to practice social distancing during COVID-19 and post pandemic, the Binovi Sports Vision Platform offers accessible turnkey athletic resources in step with subscription-based home fitness solutions Tonal, Peloton (PTON: NASDAQ) and Mirror. A subscription structure will support the company’s global product scaling strategy and “at-home” consumer offerings.

“I emphatically believe the best way to develop goaltenders is by teaching a system within a system. Quality drills, attention to detail, repetition and simplicity are major factors in building successful goaltenders. The goaltender must learn needed skills in a progressive manner in a controlled environment. With Binovi, we are gaining a sports vision training system to improve vision in that same controlled way, ensuring proper analysis and progress,” commented Eli Wilson, Eli Wilson Goaltending Founder, CEO

Under his tutelage, Eli’s camps –which see over 600 athletes annually– have produced more than 50 NHL draft picks, over 60 Division I, Canadian University goaltenders, and more than 200 players drafted by Major Junior teams. His goaltenders have gone on to win numerous prestigious awards and championships, including the Stanley Cup, Conn Smythe Trophy, Vezina Trophy, World Junior Gold Medals, American Hockey League (AHL) championships, AHL Playoff MVPs, Western Hockey League (WHL) Goaltender of the Year awards, Ontario Hockey League (OHL) Goaltender of the Year awards, and Canadian Hockey League (CHL) Goaltender of the Year awards. In addition to standard camp programming, Eli has introduced a number of specialty camps, including the popular 24/7 camp, where goaltenders actually live and train with Eli over a three-day weekend. A main staple of Eli’s year-round training is advanced video technology, whereby he and his staff can analyze video remotely to further goaltending development.

This strategic partnership will support Eyecarrot’s aggressive positioning of its sports vision performance offerings in the sport of hockey through an increased presence in key hockey development programs including direct NHL team alignments. Hockey, a leading sport in Canada, will benefit from big-tech partnerships of this nature that are designed to enhance athlete performance at all development levels of the sport.

“We’re very excited to be working with an athletic training team that clearly has a very high drive for success, and such an incredible track record for turning out exceptional players. Our goal is to see Binovi boost the performance of athletes going through these camps and training regimens. After all, competition is what drives sport, and any edge players and their training teams can get to get that competitive edge over an opponent is key. We look forward to working alongside Eli and his team as we continue to develop Binovi for sports,” stated Adam Cegielski, President and CEO.

About Eli Wilson Goaltending

Eli Wilson has worked with over 30 NHL goalies (and counting) to sharpen all essential goaltending skills, including mental conditioning and off-ice training.

Hollister Biosciences Inc.$HOLL.ca Division Hollister #Cannabis Co Becomes Official Brand Partner for Chronic Relief 4/20 Fundraiser in Support of Feeding America $WEED.ca $CGC $ACB $APH $CRON.ca $OGI.ca $FAF.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 7:20 AM on Monday, April 20th, 2020
  • Through its Hollister Cannabis Co division, has become an official brand partner of Farechild Events’ Chronic Relief 4/20 fundraiser.
  • Virtual event has been established to help the Feeding America network of food banks as they support communities and families impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Hollister Biosciences Inc., the creator of California’s #1 hash-infused pre-roll HashBone, joins a global group of cannabis’ biggest stars for an unprecedented live web broadcast on one of the world’s “highest” holidays to feed hungry families during the global coronavirus pandemic.  

VANCOUVER, April 20, 2020  – Hollister Biosciences Inc. (CSE: HOLL, OTC: HSTRF, FRANKFURT: HOB) (the “Company” or “Hollister“) – through its Hollister Cannabis Co division, has become an official brand partner of Farechild Events’ Chronic Relief 4/20 fundraiser. 

An extraordinary line-up of game-changing cannabis personalities, activists, actors, musicians, athletes, journalists and brands have banded together for Chronic Relief – a ground-breaking free telethon live-web broadcast, with 100% of all funds raised via donation given to Feeding America COVID-19 Response Fund (501c3). This virtual event has been established to help the Feeding America network of food banks as they support communities and families impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Households facing hunger may be more susceptible to the virus, further contributing to the demands placed on food banks. Your donation will enable food banks to serve the most vulnerable members of the community and our neighbors in need, during this difficult time.

Uniting the global cannabis community in celebration of 4/20 by bringing entertainment, words of encouragement, and the giving spirit to those in need; famed cannabis event producers Dave Tran and James Zachodni of Farechild Events, Seattle-based Atomic Studios, lifestyle brand/canna-marketing company Dab Star and award-winning branding agency Wick & Mortar, along with others, come together to support those facing hunger as a result of COVID-19. 

The cannabis community has embraced Chronic Relief en masse by supporting the upcoming event through a wide array of platforms in an effort to ignite passion in the American people showing that cannabis cares and is here to feed your body and mind. Brands and companies who have offered to support include: Sensi Magazine, Marijuana Venture Magazine, Cannabis Club TV, Cannabis Talk 101, PufCreativ, Enlighten, Cannabis & Tech Today, Pot Brothers At Law, Cannacon, Cannabis Now Magazine, Happy Munkey, Leaf Magazine, Haze Radio, Revel, Hempfest, Dab Tabs, Futurola, 420 Games, NECann, Respect My Region, Cannabis Alliance, Daily Leaf, Sound Cultivation, LA Cannabis News, Dip Devices, My Cannabis Accountant, Scynce LED, and Chapter 2.

“We’re at the threshold of an extreme moment of need in our human existence,” said Dave Tran, organizer of the event and one of the executive producers of the Chronic Relief broadcast. “There’s countless families who are surviving this crisis hungry, scared and unsupported. We have the network, we have the passion, we have the technology to raise awareness. Most importantly Feed America needs the funding to do their incredible work during this crisis. The support we’ve received from the cannabis media and industry community is remarkable. James and I’s phones are blowing up with everyone asking, ‘What can I do and how can I help?’ We hope our viewers all over the country will do the same on 4/20.” 

Farechild Events further shared about this event: “In our current state of uncertainty, we know it’s essential to unite as a community to offer strength and optimism during this international crisis. The cannabis industry was built on the giving spirit and if there has ever been a time to harness the strength of the cannabis community, it’s now. Let’s come together to support those facing hunger as a result of the COVID-19. 

We have the opportunity to make this 4/20 the most iconic celebration in our community’s history. There is no better time than the present for the cannabis space to make a lasting impact where it matters most. As all major 4/20 celebrations have been cancelled, we have the opportunity to leverage our partnerships and vast network of supporters to capture a large audience of virtual cannabis enthusiasts in support of a virtuous cause. Cannabis consumers and advocates are looking for a way to connect with their peers on 4/20 and Chronic Relief is the answer.  

In the spirit of legendary fundraisers like the Jerry Lewis MDA Labor Day Telethon, Chronic Relief looks to bring many of the same aspects of the time-honored tradition, but in a virtual world where viewers can join a live-stream. The event will act as a platform to raise money for charity with 100% of all funds raised via donation during broadcast will be given to Feeding America (501c3). A donation link will be visible on the live-stream screen. In addition to the opportunity to donate to feedingamerica.org, viewers can expect to see video segments from artists, influencers and celebrities.  Live musical performances and interviews with influencers will stream live from our Seattle-based studio in a true variety-show format. It will be a 4/20 to remember.”

The CEO of Hollister Biosciences Inc, Carl Saling, shared: “We are honored to be part of Chronic Relief 4/20. So many families are struggling right now and we all must step up and do our part to help.  Hollister Cannabis Co has been making and donating hand sanitizer all over the community.  This event is an opportunity to come together and really do some good.”

Chronic Relief 4/20 is taking place on Monday, 4/20/20 from 12-5PM PST. For more information and to RSVP for this remarkable live-stream fundraiser, please visit farechild.com.
