We are excited to announce the return of the Friends of CASA Holiday Luncheon & Fashion Show to be held on Thursday, December 2, 2021 at The Ritz Carlton Resort in Laguna Niguel. On behalf of Friends of CASA we invite you to participate in the Silent Auction portion of our event. Your donation will help us raise funds to train CASA of Orange County volunteers who provide a powerful voice and meaningful connection to children in Orange County who have experienced abuse, neglect, and abandonment. Please help us in raising the funds to support CASA of Orange County during this difficult time. 

Unfortunately, the number of vulnerable children in our community has sharply increased due to the impact of the COVID-19 crisis. As children re-enter school, sports and social activities, mandated child abuse reports have been on the rise indicating alarming numbers of children who have been suffering during the lock-down. It’s hard to imagine what these children have experienced while isolated away from the watchful eyes of mandated reporters and concerned citizens. Now more than ever, our foster children need the guidance, support and advocacy of a CASA.

Our Holiday Luncheon is our primary fundraiser for CASA OC, and in 2020 raised over $518,000 in net proceeds. The Silent Auction portion of our event is always popular with our guests and raises a majority of our revenue. We encourage you to take part in this opportunity and remember that your donation not only helps to support a worthy cause but also provides business exposure to over 450 discerning and influential guests. We appreciate the time you took to read over this request and thank you for considering donating to our event. Please have your donation in by November 9th in order to be acknowledged in our recognition materials. For more information on CASA Holiday Luncheon go to www.CASAHolidayLuncheon.com and be sure to follow us on Instagram and Facebook at @casaoc, @friends_of_casa, and @casaholidayluncheon. 

The Friends of CASA Holiday Luncheon is seen as one of the most fashionable and premier social events in all of Orange County and has been recognized as the top 5 highest netting luncheons in Orange County per the Orange County Business Journal. You will be promoted to over 450 of Orange County’s most discerning consumers who are looking for unique high-end retail items and services. Auction donations will be acknowledged on the event website, in event printed materials, in event email marketing, in the event app, and on social media. Donations valued at $5,000+ will receive a half page special visual recognition at the event, while donations of $10,000+ will receive a full page special visual recognition.
