Toast to the Casa 2018 - Casa Blanca

Support access to the arts, history and education at Casa Romantica's 16th annual Toast to the Casa gala. Funds raised support our 501(c)3 nonprofit cultural programs for people of all ages in south Orange County, including critically-acclaimed performances, exhibitions, lectures, and children's academies.
Funds also support preservation of our historic property, San Clemente founder Ole Hanson's home, and maintenance for its botanical gardens. With the support of many caring families, individuals, and companies, we can make cultural access fun, affordable, and inspiring!
Our 2018 theme recalls the Art Deco glamour of the landmark film Casablanca (1943) as well as the vibrant marketplace and nightlife of Morocco’s most romantic city. Entertainment includes a Big Band, a DJ spinning contemporary tunes, a charity casino, a spinning Wheel of Wine game, a performance by Moroccan dancers, a traditional Moroccan tea maker, a hookah and cigar lounge, gourmet food and beverages from nearly 30 local vendors, and live and silent auctions.
