CASA of Johnson & Wyandotte Counties – Hops & Barley Ball: In Color
The Hops & Barley Ball: In Color took place on September 27th at the 1900 Building. Proceeds support CASA of Johnson & Wyandotte Counties. Children who have been removed from their homes and have a CASA volunteer advocating for them in court are far more likely to find a safe permanent home.
