Learn. Connect. Grow.
Join us for the Women Grow Leadership Summit 2025, where bold ideas meet unstoppable energy.
Over two unforgettable days, women and men will connect with trailblazers in cannabis. Day 1 features powerful speakers, including keynote Brittney Griner, Careers in Cannabis job fair, and wraps up with a lively Mardi Gras celebration – As part of the event, Ricky Williams will host the Project Champion Fundraiser on Monday, February 17 at 5:00 PM, and discuss the need to break the stigma surrounding cannabis and the need for safe, therapeutic options for everyone. This impactful fundraiser will highlight the need for alternative treatment options to support patients and consumers’ long-term health and wellness.
“Project Champion is about creating cannabis champions out of our lawmakers to advance sensible cannabis policy,” said Williams. “This fundraiser is an opportunity to spark meaningful conversations and advocate for solutions that can truly make a difference.”
About Project Champion:
Project Champion (PC) is a 501c4, bipartisan coalition of former professional athletes dedicated to advancing effective cannabis legislation that normalizes and destigmatizes its use, unlocking its myriad wellness, medical, and socio-economic benefits for all Americans. The organization is led by former NFL greats Ricky Williams, Jim McMahon and Kyle Turley. All have been long-time medical cannabis advocates and have made it their personal goal to elevate the legitimacy of cannabis as a medicine. PC is committed to championing meaningful cannabis policy reform and advocating for the rights of patients and businesses in the cannabis sector. Through education, outreach, and community engagement, we aim to foster a more equitable and just cannabis landscape across the United States.
With Williams spearheading the Project Champion Fundraiser, attendees will gain valuable insights into how they can work with the athletes to advance cannabis policies on the grassroots level to bring real change and transform their access to the plant. Register for the Project Champion Fundraiser today to join this inspiring initiative.
