Terrapin Care Station pledges $30K to support Boulder music venues

Tim September 17, 2020

BOULDER — Boulder-based cannabis dispensary chain Terrapin Care Station is contributing $30,000 to support live music venues in the city including those struggling for survival in the COVID-19 pandemic.  Nonprofit organization Colorado Music Experience was the recipient of the funding, according to a TCS news release.  CoME, in turn, will distribute $25,000 to Z2 Entertainment LLC, operator of the Boulder Theater and the Fox Theater. The remaining $5,000 “serves as funding for CoME’s work preserving Colorado’s unique music history,” the release said. “As an ‘essential’ business allowed to stay open during the pandemic, we have a duty to step up for those in the community struggling due to unforeseen circumstances related to COVID,” TCS CEO Chris Woods said in the release. “The nexus between cannabis and the arts goes back as long as our history with cannabis and music. The Boulder and Fox theaters are institutions right in our backyard whose endless contributions to the live music scene have shaped our community for decades. It would be devastating to see these venues shutter permanently, so we are following through with our commitment to lift our community up during this uncertain time.”     © 2020 BizWest Media LLC

BOULDER — Terrapin Care Station is partnering with Z2 Entertainment to establish the cannabis company as the official partner for events at the Boulder Theater and Fox Theatre. Both Terrapin, a cannabis company, and Z2 Entertainment are Boulder-based companies. “As a company that has long supported music and the arts, this partnership makes a lot of sense,” Chris Woods, founder and owner of Terrapin Care Station, said in a prepared statement. “Terrapin Care Station strives to plant local roots in the communities in which we operate. Involving ourselves in the local community is how we present ourselves as good neighbors. We’re a company of music lovers, so who better to work with than Boulder music institutions like the Boulder Theater and Fox Theatre?” The partnership will take place at events for audiences where most of the attendees are age 21 and up. As part of the partnership, Terrapin and Z2 are offering ticket giveaways. Events will be promoted at Terrapin Care Station locations and on its social media. “We are thrilled to partner with Terrapin Station and connect our mutual music lovers at convenient locations to both of our venues,” said Ian Frodesen, general manager of Z2 Entertainment, in a statement. “The partnership is off to a great start, and we are excited to see how we can better responsibly serve our guests.” Terrapin has two dispensary locations in Boulder: 1795 Folsom Street and 5370 Manhattan Circle. There are also locations in Aurora, Denver and Longmont.
