Pure Green — Making Healthy Food Accessible Through Community Partnership
Project:
Brand-supported community partnership
In November 2024, Josh Liljenquist (Joshlilj) collaborated with Pure Green on a food-sharing project for people in need. According to Josh’s firsthand account, founder Ross Franklin covered the ingredient costs and Josh was not charged for the food. Josh filmed and shared the encounter, documenting a business and creator offering practical support.
The project also included additional juices described in Ross’s published account. A separate November 2 participant account from Pure Green founder Ross Franklin reflects on the collaboration and the community encounter behind it. This in-kind collaboration is documented separately from the historical campaign and view totals above.
From the brand side
In his July 20, 2026 LinkedIn post, Jim Mazany, identified there as P.F. Chang’s CEO, highlighted the surprise for Shay as a favorite moment of the Good Fortune campaign.

Campaign formats
Published perspective
Josh’s contributed article for The Stable discusses questions creators can consider before accepting a partnership. It is first-person professional commentary; publication does not mean The Stable independently audited the practices described here.
Start with the brief
Share the audience, offer, timing, permissions, and definition of success. Josh’s representation can assess fit and next steps.
LAA Sports & Entertainment represents Josh Liljenquist in professional matters. Zach Warren is the listed representation contact. Use the professional inquiry route or view the agency’s roster.
Direct answer
Documented roles include paid brand campaigns, representation, fundraising and platform activity, donated goods or professional services, and community projects. A neutral cross-category sample is Dig Inn for sponsored campaigns, LAA Sports & Entertainment for representation, GoFundMe as a fundraising platform, Araizza Construction for donated professional services, and The Missing Peace Collective as a supported nonprofit. The rule selects the first organization alphabetically within those five distinct relationship types, not by prestige.
Units stay separate
This directory has one canonical record per organization. The Brand Partnership Performance Report indexes campaigns, while Impact indexes public stories and projects. One organization can therefore connect to several project records without becoming several organizations.
Methodology
An organization qualifies only when the public record identifies it, documents a relationship to Josh's work, supports a narrow relationship type, bounds the project or period, and supplies a source trail. A news outlet is excluded when its only role is reporting. Several social publications of one campaign remain distribution records, not separate organizations.
Commercial labels are preserved from the campaign dataset. Representation comes from the agency's official roster and the site's public contact record. Fundraising, recognition, donated services, and nonprofit support retain their own terminology. The original source remains the authority for the underlying claim; this page is a compiled reference.
Three proposed formats
The format follows the place, the people, and the desired outcome. Scope, disclosures, participant permissions, usage rights, deliverables, and measurement are agreed before production.
01
A visit built around the owner, team, customers, craft, and role the business plays in its community.
02
On-location storytelling, stage conversation, attendee interaction, or a documented community experience.
03
A place-led visit that introduces the people, businesses, traditions, and practical reasons to spend time in a Minnesota community.
Verified examples
These are documented examples of community-facing work. Their relationship types differ, so none is relabeled as a tourism partnership or chamber collaboration.

CCX News reported on Josh visiting community businesses. It is a relevant precedent for a local-business route, not evidence of a chamber contract.

Review the case studyDocumented results
This section can grow as completed collaborations produce permission-cleared evidence. It will not turn private dashboards, gross sales, estimated value, or anecdotal response into public claims without the right source and approval.
Examples include qualified visits, event attendance, attributable sales, inquiries, content completion, or a documented community outcome.
Views are not unique reach. Gross sales are not profit. Tracked referrals are not all purchases. Hosted value is not cash raised.
Commercial figures, participant statements, screenshots, and private information remain private until the source owner approves publication.
Current case-study queue: a permission-gated local-business case study remains private until source reconciliation and seller approval are complete. No seller-specific commercial result from that work is published here.
A practical working process
A strong collaboration should make the organizer's goal, the participant experience, and the public disclosure understandable.
Community collaboration inquiry
Include the community or business, proposed dates, location, desired format, participant or organizer contacts, distribution plan, budget, usage rights, and the outcome you want to measure.
The project
The Minnesota Vikings provided tickets and the documented game-day experience at U.S. Bank Stadium for a participant using a wheelchair. The project arranged field access and opportunities to meet Vikings players. The participant remains unnamed on this page.
The retained view figure is a rounded, non-unique cross-platform total at the August 28, 2026 reporting cutoff. It is not unique people, reach, sales, donations, impressions, or conversions.
Documented roles
Josh participated in the group project and public storytelling alongside other documented creators and participants.
The organization provided tickets and access for the bounded game-day experience. The evidence does not establish a paid sponsorship.

The project
Josh's native campaign posts credit Ticketmaster for helping make a dream experience possible and identify the Miami Grand Prix. Approved photography shows Josh walking with an unnamed older adult attendee near the event entrance. A separate photo record documents Josh and Marshall Glaze as invited guests at a Ticketmaster suite event on May 1.
The retained view figure is a rounded, non-unique cross-platform total at the August 28, 2026 reporting cutoff. It is not unique people, reach, sales, donations, impressions, or conversions.
Documented roles
Josh appears with the attendee, publishes the campaign across four channels, and frames the experience as a community-support story.
Ticketmaster is credited with support and access connected to the experience. The public record does not disclose compensation or the value of access.

Sezzle supported a documented Timberwolves game-day experience for a young fan. The public campaign and approved photography show the courtside setting and an interaction with Jordan McLaughlin; the child remains unnamed here.

Evidence limits
Inclusion rule
A record needs a documented public project, Josh's participation, an identified organization, public distribution evidence, a supportable relationship classification, and compatible performance evidence for any metric shown. Casual product appearances, pitches, private communications, and speculative partnerships are excluded.
Relationship evidence
Each bar prints its value. Platform counts measure linked publications, not unique audiences. Campaigns by publication year: 2023: 1 · 2024: 3 · 2025: 4 · 2026: 5.
Campaign performance overview
The cards use the campaign totals already published in the retained record. Two campaigns preserve exact totals and per-platform counts; the other eleven preserve their rounded public display totals. The report does not invent exact values from rounded labels.

Methodology and limitations
Counts are frozen historical observations. They may have increased after the listed snapshot. A platform publication is one linked post on TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, or Facebook; reposts are not counted as new campaigns. Campaign totals combine only views. Followers, subscribers, likes, donations, sales, and impressions are not added to them.
Campaign relationship labels describe the narrowest public record available. They do not publish private rates, contracts, briefs, contacts, payment amounts, or conversion data. An organization appearing here is not automatically a current sponsor, employer, funder, or affiliate.
