Join CASA SHaW for Healing HeARTS, an evening of healing and the sharing of the heart of many talents on April 9th at 7:00 PM. At our virtual gala, we will celebrate and tell the stories of how many individuals coped during the pandemic through the arts. Their crafts and stories will be on virtual display and available for purchase to the highest bidder. You will be uplifted and inspired by the works and stories of these incredible individuals.
All proceeds from this event will support our mission to provide well-trained CASA and trauma informed volunteers to serve as advocates in court for children living in foster care. Our goal is to ensure that every child served has a safe, permanent home and the resources and services needed to thrive and not just survive adverse childhood experiences. We are committed to educating ourselves and the community about the causes and impacts of child abuse and neglect, the need for racial equity in a disproportionate system, and how to best advocate for and meet the needs of children in foster care in Somerset, Hunterdon, and Warren Counties.
Sign up with your friends and family! There will also be a Happy Hour breakout session so you can catch up and hang out with those who are close to you. Our online gala will be a joyous way for you to not only enjoy the togetherness of our community, but to also help abused and neglected foster children.
