CASA-NYC’s 11th annual Spring Gala, CASA HAUS Party, took place on May 11, 2016 at HAUS Nightclub.

Our wonderful MC for the evening was Talk Stoop host Cat Greenleaf. She moderated a panel discussion between Board President Kathryn Conroy, former foster youth and CASA-NYC Junior Board member Daniel Gura, and Board member and CASA Advocate Ailsa Fox, who spoke about the impact of CASA advocacy on the lives of children and youth in foster care.

The event program also featured with a live auction in which several experience packages, including tickets to sporting events, live show tapings, and exclusive travel opportunities, were auctioned to raise vital funds for the organization. A paddle raise in support of CASA’s programs concluded the event program.

Thanks to our sponsors, supporters and more than 200 guests, who made this event such a success! In total more than $250,000 was raised to support CASA’s programming.
