Wipe out Child Abuse!  Support CASA of Central Oregon!

CASA of Central Oregon will be at four local art galleries on the First Friday Art-Walk February 3 to kick-off their fourth annual Celebration of Hope event. A Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) is a volunteer member of our community that has been highly trained to advocate for the basic needs of abused and neglected children in foster care through no fault of their own. CASA ensures that every child has the right to learn, and grow, and be treated with dignity and respect.

High Desert, Mockingbird, Red Chair and Sage galleries join CASA in their goal to wipe out child abuse and will feature unique flour sack towel art, created by a child’s vision and interpretation of “Hope” for a pre-event sneak preview! The art work has been created by children in the community. 

The Deschutes Brewery, a champion for children, presents the Celebration of Hope with Bendbroadband and The Bulletin on March 3, 2012 from 5:00 to 9:00 PM at the Century Center. Tickets are $25 and include an evening complete with craft beers, wine, small plates and the first chance to purchase the child art-themed kitchen towels. A knock-your-socks-off “rauction” that includes amazing customized packages valued at $500 or more will complete the festivities. 100% of the proceeds will benefit CASA of Central Oregon’s volunteer recruitment, training, and support efforts.

CASA representatives will be located at each gallery to answer questions and sell tickets for the March 3, 2012 event.
