Help Kassia Surf, Thread Spun, Changing Tides Foundation and Atacama Surf honor World Refugee Day (June 20th)-an internationally observed holiday that commemorates the strength, resilience and persistence of refugees. A refugee is a person forced to flee his or her home due to persecution, war or violence. Every minute of each day, 20 more people leave everything they know behind. This means there are more than 65 million people around the world who are displaced from their homes, 22 million of whom are designated formally as refugees.

All proceeds from this raffle go directly to 501(c)(3) charity, Circle of Health International (COHI). COHI is a humanitarian organization founded in 2004 with the mission to work with women and their communities in times of crisis and disaster to ensure access to quality reproductive, maternal and newborn care. COHI is currently helping vunerable women around the world including refugees in the Rio Grande Valley on the US/Mexico border. For more information on COHI and their work visit http://cohintl.org/
