Join us on Thursday, April 30 at the Beverly Wilshire for the 14th Annual CASA/LA Gala. Through this event, CASA Reimagines how kids move through the child welfare system with consistent support and advocacy. We’ll celebrate community members whose dedication and passion have changed the lives of children and families impacted by the child welfare and juvenile justice systems.
We invite you to be a part of this uplifting evening of comradery, inspiration, and giving that ensures our essential work continues.
Your presence and support make it possible for CASA/LA to advocate for those who need it most.
