Providing Comfort
Our Goal is $40,000
Our 7th annual Luggage of Love Campaign to benefit CASA Kane County is underway! Last year we raised over $35,000 in cash, suitcases, gift cards and essential personal items for children in the foster care system. CASA Kane County advocates for the best interests of these children (ages 0-21) both in and out of court. This year we have set our goals higher than ever!
We are looking to surpass last year’s total and raise $40,000 in monetary donations, new suitcases, gift cards and new essential personal items. With the more than $35,000 that was raised last year the Luggage of Love lifetime contribution to CASA Kane County is over $100,000!
