Jackson County CASA – Cocktails for CASA – A Night of Hope

More than 225 guests gathered for Jackson County CASA’s inaugural live auction event, Cocktails for CASA – A Night of Hope. The October 11th evening was held at Cherry Hall. Partygoers enjoyed cocktails, hors d’oeuvres by Bread and Butter Concepts, silent and live auctions, and magic mirror photos from Mirror Me KC. More than $85,000 was raised to support CASA’s mission to be the voice in court for children who have been removed from their homes due to parental abuse and neglect.
