CASA thanks community for overwhelming support

CASA of the South Plains hosted its first-ever CASA Blanca Gala & Auction in February. CASA is in awe of this amazing community and the overwhelming support received. The gala was an opportunity to come together and celebrate the impact CASA volunteers have in the lives of children in foster care in our community.

An impactful story was told about what CASA volunteers do every day, sharing how important it is to stand up for children in foster care, and to help create a support system that will be with these children for the rest of their lives.

Because of the overwhelming support from the incredible South Plains community, CASA surpassed their fundraising goal of $100,000. One hundred percent of the funds raised at this event will be used to help recruit, train, and support new CASA volunteers who are desperately needed to stand up for the well-being of children in foster care.

Everything about the night was perfect, and the preparation for next year has already begun. Without such loyal community members, the CASA Blanca Gala would not have been the roaring success it was.
