THE 2017 CHARITY BOWL OPENS EARLY WITH REASON

Related Topics: Refugee, Casus belli

Hello, this is a college football website that, once a year, runs a fundraiser for a refugee resettlement organization.

Usually this happens around April, coinciding with the arrival of spring football and people’s renewed interest in this fine sport of ours. It will again this year: Nothing changes that, and nothing will. We continue to raise money for refugees because we believe that this is a nation of immigrants, and that it is the duty of those immigrants to serve as the sanctuary for those immigrants following them.

This is especially true for refugees—those forced from their homes into a second country by war, ethnic violence, or natural disaster, and then resettled in a third country.
