Simply choose a tag, bring back a wrapped or unwrapped gift, or make a cash donation of at least $30 with the tag to the tree.    ### Empowering Communities: CEPIA's Impactful Initiatives    CEPIA is a nationally accredited Costa Rican non-profit organization that has promoted culture, mental and physical health, education, and labor opportunities since 2005.
