CASAblanca Gala and CASA Kids Golf Classic inspire excitement and hope! Matching challenge gifts from The Anderson Foundation and a surprise anonymous donor inspired guests at CASAblanca to give a record-breaking $500,000. The gala honored the Topfer Family Foundation for its dedication to child abuse prevention and treatment and featured the inspiring story of Nelly and her CASA volunteer Elvira. One memorable moment was when Zoltan David’s diamond pendant, Star Child, designed to honor the work of CASA, was auctioned for $20,000 to a longtime CASA volunteer! The CASA Kids Golf Classic raised over $100,000 during the tournament at The Hills of Lakeway Golf and Country Club and the Party Fore the Kids the night before. Golfer Shayne Berry of Spicewood inspired cheers when he hit a hole-in-one to win a Mazda CX5! At lunch, Everett Carmody, a CASA volunteer and board member, told the group how he first learned about CASA at the tournament three years ago. Both events provided an opportunity for people to learn about CASA’s inspiring vision: to provide a CASA volunteer to every child who needs one. Currently, 108 donors have signed on to provide a child with a CASA volunteer for a whole year by giving $1,500 per year or more.
