We will also continue to support and enhance Mr. Friesen's commitment to Sherriff's Department initiatives, including the Association of Orange County Deputy Sheriffs Memorial Golf Tournament that helps raise funds for the surviving families of fallen sheriffs and peace officers.

SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS & BUILDING PRACTICES 10 Spot, Inc. is firmly committed to ongoing environmental stewardship as part of our overall commitment to healthier customers and communities. Our commitment to sustainable business practices is evidenced by our green facilities efforts, sponsorship of community green spaces, and cutting -edge cannabis industry sustainability practices both in our own operations and in our partners and associates who provide the products we sell. We work with organically grown and sourced products, and will focus considerable resources on the sustainability and strength of our local community environment. Environmental Groups 10 Spot, Inc. will partner with California Greenworks, Inc., a registered 501 non-profit organization that promotes environmental protection and community revitalization throughout the urban centers of southern California.
