CEPIA hosts Black & White party to raise money for children

The nonprofit association Culture, Education and Psychology for Infants and Adolescents (CEPIA) is hosting a Black & White party to raise money for 600 children living in extreme poverty in Guanacaste.

The event will take place November 2 at 6:30 p.m. in Pangas and the pre-sale price is $50. This includes a dinner buffet, a cocktail and a silent auction.

You can buy the tickets in Abriendo Mentes, Surfbox, La Paz, CRIA, Nimbu, CEPIA, Educarte, Azul Profundo, Jaime Peligro bookstore, Pangas and Lola’s.
