CASA/LA is a nonprofit organization which advocates on behalf of abused and neglected children in the overburdened foster care system of Los Angeles County. A Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) is a trained, dedicated, and caring community volunteer who is assigned to assist a foster child, investigates that child's circumstances and makes recommendations to the Court, works to secure needed services, and serves as a mentor and guide for the child.
The show is for ages 21 and older. Tickets are $25 each and available at www.thesatellitela.com.
ABOUT CASA/LA
Founded in 1978, CASA of Los Angeles is a community-supported 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to mobilize community volunteers to advocate on behalf of abused and neglected children in the overburdened foster care system of Los Angeles County. CASA's vision is of a Los Angeles where every foster child has an advocate and the opportunity to thrive. Through committed, highly trained everyday citizen volunteers, CASA brings the voice of a concerned community into the child welfare system. Studies have shown that children with CASAs receive more assistance and support than children without, and are more likely to be adopted or returned to their families and less likely to reenter the child welfare system.
