The Evening

An evening of connection, stories, and hope.

Join us at the Mill Valley Community Center for an inspiring celebration. Throughout the night, you'll hear powerful, firsthand stories from those directly impacted by our work supporting children in the Marin County Juvenile Court system — alongside the voices of the dedicated volunteers who make it all possible.

i

A warm welcome

Delicious food and beverages in a setting designed for genuine connection.

ii

Stories that stay with you

Voices of the children, families, and CASA volunteers at the center of our mission.

iii

A lively auction

Bid on one-of-a-kind experiences — every paddle raised supports a child's path forward.

Why it matters

Our sole major fundraiser of the year.

As state and federal budget cuts put essential services at risk, the funds raised at the Celebration of Resilience are critical to advancing our mission and standing alongside the children who need us most. Every seat reserved and every gift made tonight helps ensure that no child faces the court system alone.

Marin CASA is deeply grateful to our donors — without whom we could not fulfill our mission.

About Marin CASA

A consistent, caring voice for every child.

"Every child deserves a safe and supportive permanent home where they can thrive."

Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Marin is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to ensuring that every child or youth experiencing foster care receives consistent support.

A Court Appointed Special Advocate is a highly trained and supported volunteer who provides one-on-one advocacy for the best interest of a child in the juvenile court system. CASAs ensure each child's voice is heard and their needs are met — advocating in the courtroom and beyond, often serving as the only consistent adult in a young person's life.

By engaging in a consistent, caring relationship and intensive individualized advocacy, CASAs positively change the trajectory of a child's path and support their healing from trauma, loss, and disruption.

Join us in celebrating resilience.
