CASA Lake County 2026 Gala
October 30, 2026 6:00 - 11:00 pm
Join us at beautiful Ravinia for an unforgettable evening where community, generosity, and purpose come together.
Every child who has experienced abuse or neglect deserves someone who sees them, listens, and advocates for their future. For children in Lake County's foster care system, that someone is a CASA volunteer.
Join us October 30th and help ensure every child has an advocate in their corner.
