Courageous Welcome: World Refugee Day Giving Campaign
June 20
Build belonging. Spread joy. Be courageous. Join a 24-hour campaign to support immigrants on World Refugee Day.
Right now, refugees and immigrants across the U.S. and right here in Northern Colorado are facing fear, isolation, and deep uncertainty.
But you? You can flip the script.
This World Refugee Day (June 20), join us for Courageous Welcome: a one-day, joy-fueled campaign to raise $19,200 in 24 hours, enough to fund a full year of paid apprenticeships for refugee and immigrant neighbors rebuilding their lives.
When you give, you provide:
Hands-on barista training
Life skills and English support
Financial literacy and legal resources
Mental health and trauma-informed mentorship
A dignified space to grow in confidence and community
Every $640 you give funds a full week of support. Every dollar says: “You belong here.”
Why World Refugee Day?
This is a moment when many of us feel heartbroken, angry, and unsure how to help. World Refugee Day honors the courage and contributions of displaced people around the world. In this moment, you can turn a day of recognition into a day of action. When you give, you help create the kind of community you believe in: one rooted in joy, dignity, and welcome.
This campaign is personal. Just ask Fatema, who fled Afghanistan and found her first job and her voice through Arboretum.
“Back home, I felt powerless. Here, I can grow. I am proud,” she says.
Fundraiser Perks: Win a private coffee tasting, latte art workshop, or shop space rental
Donor Gifts: First 25 donors of $100+ get exclusive Arboretum merch
This is more than a fundraiser—it’s a joyful movement of dignity, opportunity, and hospitality. Be part of it.
