What is it? 

“Party for A Purpose” is a way for CASA Kane County supporters, friends, volunteers, donors, and staff to get involved in our mission to end the cycle of child abuse and give children a voice in abuse and neglect courts by hosting a party to support CASA Kane County and share how everyone can make an impact by volunteering, donating or connecting.  

Due to the rapid increase in cases of abuse and neglect of children, WE NEED YOU to utilize your circles of influence to help us raise funds and expand awareness to support 100% of children who are victims of abuse and neglect with a CASA/GAL volunteer.  

How does it work? 

It’s simple!  

You provide or choose the venue, food, drinks, entertainment, and cheer! Invite your friends, family neighbors, co-workers over for a meaningful get-together, a “Party for a Purpose.”   

It could be a backyard barbeque, a quiet evening of cocktails, or an active evening of music and dancing! We will work with you to set goals for the evening and assist you in planning your event.  

A CASA Kane County staff or trained CASA volunteer can also be available to attend your event and provide a brief presentation about CASA and our program.   NOT required! 🙂

Suggestions to ask your guests to do one of the following to help serve the efforts of CASA Kane County and abused and neglected children in your community:  

• • • Purchase a Gala Grand Raffle Ticket – 1 for $20 or 7 for $100 
    • Bring a donated item: 
      • Gift cards – Local restaurant or business gift cards can be used for our Gala Silent Auction, or gas gift cards, child focused stores or box retailer gift cards can be used to help our daily operations and providing incidentals for children as needed. 
      • Bottle of wine or spirits – This can be used for our Gala Silent Auction to stock the bar cart.
    • Give a donation!   
    • AND, spread the word on social media and your email lists!
