DuPage CASA celebrating 30 years of child advocacy at 'Pearl Gala' Oct. 21
CASA of DuPage County is celebrating 30 years of child advocacy by hosting its annual gala with a "Pearl Anniversary" theme, on Saturday, Oct. 21, at the Sheraton Hotel in Lisle.
Guests will enjoy inspirational stories, unique auction items, entertaining activities, live music, dancing, and a great time with friends - all while raising much-needed funds for children who have been removed from unsafe homes because of abuse and neglect.
CASA board members and Gala Committee co-chairs, Veronica Corirossi and Katie May Yoder, welcome guests to an evening to remember, where friends of CASA will come together with a goal of raising $250,000 for abused, neglected, or vulnerable children in the DuPage County juvenile court system.
Veronica and Katie shared, "On behalf of the Gala Committee, we welcome all to an evening of glamour and enchantment as we share historic moments, honor longtime friends, celebrate our successes over the past 30 years."
CASA of DuPage County would like to extend special thanks to its 30th Anniversary Pearl Gala Sponsors: FT Cares Foundation; Cogan & Power; Estate Planning Law Group; Mathieson, Moyski, Austin & Co.; Schiller, DuCanto & Fleck; Black Diamond Planners; Black Pearl Counseling; Borter Heating & Air Conditioning; Capstone Financial Advisors; Charles Schwab; Mirabella, Kincaid, Frederick & Mirabella; and Wheaton Bank & Trust.
Suzanne Skala, CASA executive director, states, "In partnership with the DuPage County court system, for 30 years DuPage CASA has made a profound difference in the lives of more than 3,000 children who have been abused or neglected.
"We attribute our success to the overwhelming generosity of the DuPage community, allowing CASA to provide every child removed from their unsafe home, a volunteer advocate to be a consistent, stable adult in their lives," Skala said. "Thank you for being part of our journey and helping to celebrate this milestone!"
