CASA of Johnson & Wyandotte Counties – Promise of Hope
April 4th was the date for CASA of Johnson & Wyandotte Counties’ Promise of Hope Luncheon at the Ritz Charles. Michelle Privette shared her story of how her Court Appointed Special Advocate, Columbus Heard; helped her to change her life. Lenore Hammer received the 2013 Promise of Hope Award. Proceeds from the event support CASA of Johnson & Wyandotte Counties’ mission to empower abused and neglected children with a volunteer’s voice in court by seeking a safe and permanent home for each child.
