SALISBURY — Cannabis retailer Stem Haverhill took over two popular Salisbury Beach locations on Sept. 17 to host its first Beach Bash, which raised $10,000 for Patriots Helping Vets.
The event, which drew 300 people, was held at Surfside and the Salisbury Beach Carousel. It featured a DJ, dancing, a boardwalk caricature artist, carousel rides, a glam station, an Italian ice station, and local artists and musicians.
Patriots Helping Vets is a nonprofit that provides equipment and services to veterans who benefit from plant medicine.
The Beach Bash was the last of three events held by Stem this year to benefit its nonprofit partners. In August, Stem hosted Blast in the Grass, which raised $10,000 for YWCA Northeastern Massachusetts.
In May, Stem hosted Power of Flower, raising $10,000 for the Parabola Center, a nonprofit think tank devoted to cannabis policy reform and anti-monopoly regulations.
In April, Stem hosts the second Bong and Pong, which will also raise money for local charities.
“Our mission from the beginning,” Stem owner Caroline Pineau said, “has been to provide customers with the best cannabis products on the market while helping worthy charitable organizations bring their vital services to more and more people in the community.
“The Beach Bash was a great bash, indeed, and I couldn’t be happier with the turnout and the money raised to help an organization that does such important work for our veterans,” she added.
Pineau said the Beach Bash and the two preceding events once again highlighted the cannabis community’s commitment to local and regional assistance and charitable causes.
Since opening in 2020, Stem has raised more than $250,000 for area charities.
