LUBBOCK, Texas (News Release) - CASA of the South Plains will host the third annual CASABlanca Gala presented by H-E-B Helping Here, celebrating the invaluable impact CASA Volunteers have made in the lives of children in foster care in the South Plains. The Gala will be held Saturday, February 22, 2025, at the Texas Tech Frazier Alumni Pavilion.
During this season of giving, CASA encourages community members to give back to one of the most important parts of the future, our children. There are still premium sponsorship opportunities being offered at this time. From the moment guests arrive, the night will be full of entertainment! The CASABlanca Gala will not only be a time to celebrate together, but also an opportunity for caring community members to change the life of a child in foster care.
“There truly won’t be any celebration like it. We have lots of exciting new things coming to the 2025 CASABlanca Gala. By supporting our Gala you will be changing the lives of children in our community, and we need your help! If you are interested in attending, there are a handful of premium sponsorship opportunities available,” said Jaclyn Morris, Chief Executive Officer of CASA of the South Plains.
“This event is perfect for celebrating with friends and supporting CASA and the children we serve. One hundred percent of the funds raised during this event will stay right here in our community and go directly to serving children who are now in foster care due to abuse and neglect.”
