❓Guess the Friday Fact: What do CASA of River Valley fundraising events support?
💡 Answer: D - All of the above!
Events like 4th Annual Boots & BBQ Presented by Tirapelli Ford do more than create a fun night out, they help support our mission to advocate for children in foster care while introducing more people to CASA. 💙
