We are extremely grateful for this year's platinum sponsors Villa Sose, Reserva Conchal, and RPM Tamarindo. We also thank Capitan Suizo, Robin B. Movement, BOHO Tamarindo and Ideas Productions for their exceptional support. This year's fundraiser was also sponsored by The Coast Hotel, Serendipity Charters, Remax Ocean Surf, Sharkys and Pangas.
We were very lucky this year to have had the support of some very amazing photographers. VERY special thanks to Sean Davis (Instagram: @costaricaphotographer), Rachel Kershaw (Instagram: ) and Carlos Andrade (Instagram: @andrade_photographys)

100% of the proceeds benefit the children and families of our coastal communities! CEPIA will be able to buy Christmas gifts, food baskets, school supplies and uniforms. CEPIA will also be able to maintain a permanent food bank for families in extreme need and thanks to this event we can do this all year long.
