The FLWR CITY CUP is an annual cannabis competition, curated to build community and raise funds for reinvestment in community development initiatives.
The FLWR CITY CUP is part of a collective effort contributing to the Flower City C.U.P. Fund, a registered non-profit. With our partners & community we aim to fill the C.U.P. FUND each year. When the "cup is full" we share it with those in need. Our 2022 Fundraising Goal is $20,000
The vision is to use this platform to showcase NY's cultivating community, and prove that when we come together,"Cannabis Used Positively" can and will make the world a better place.
