Because of you, CASA El Dorado is changing lives.

When you support the Shine Bright Gala, you stand with our community’s most vulnerable children—those who have experienced abuse, neglect, or trauma and have been placed in foster care. Your generosity helps ensure every child has a powerful voice in court and in life: a CASA volunteer.

What We Do

CASA El Dorado trains and supports Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs)—dedicated volunteers who advocate for children in the foster care and juvenile justice systems, and for families at risk of separation. These advocates build consistent relationships with their assigned youth, gather crucial information, and make informed, child-centered recommendations to judges that can change the course of a child's life.

The difference a CASA makes is profound and lasting:

Children with a CASA receive more supportive services.
They spend less time in foster care.
They are significantly less likely to re-enter the system.

Your participation in this year’s Gala is a direct investment in brighter futures for the youth we serve. Together, we can be the reason a child feels seen, heard, and supported.
