The first-ever Las Vegas Vlasic Classic, hosted by Vlasic Labs at the Las Vegas Paiute Golf Resort in partnership with the Paiute Tribe and its Nuwu Cannabis companies, marked a major milestone as Nevada's first cannabis-compliant golf tournament.
The Las Vegas Vlasic Classic follows successful events in Missouri and Michigan, which together have contributed over $140,000 to organizations working to end cannabis incarceration and uplift local communities by reforming outdated policies.
This inaugural Las Vegas tournament raised more than $17,500 for organizations advancing justice reform and second-chance initiatives. Donations included $6,250 to Freedom Grow, $6,250 to the Last Prisoner Project, and $5,000 to Mission Green.
Top sponsors included Cannabis Now, Mama J's, and Matrix, with major contributions from Verano, Curaleaf, STIIIZY, and Good Day Farm. Their collective support underscores the growing unity of the cannabis community around meaningful social impact and responsible industry progress.
The National Cannabis Industry Association (NCIA) was the official trade association sponsor, reflecting a shared mission to advance a safe, responsible cannabis industry.
"Las Vegas represents the next chapter in our mission to blend sport, advocacy, and cannabis culture in a positive way," said Willy Vlasic, CEO of Vlasic. "Partnering with the Paiute Tribe and Nuwu Cannabis to make Nevada's first compliant golf tournament possible shows how collaboration can advance national reform efforts."
