Press release from CASA of Morris and Sussex Counties:

April 26, 2021

On Friday, May 14th, 2021 Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Morris and Sussex Counties will be hosting a special fundraising event, “CASA at the Zoo'' from 6PM -10PM. Community members can enjoy a delicious dinner, snacks, carousel and train rides, the petting zoo, and the wonder of over 200 species of animals from around the world.

The goal of this year’s CASA at the Zoo fundraiser is to raise unrestricted funds for CASA programs, and highlight the importance of advocating for children who have experienced abuse and neglect. This year, sponsorship support has allowed CASA to provide tickets to numerous children and families in foster care to attend the evening at the zoo.

“We are excited to share this fun event with the entire CASA family of loyal supporters, volunteers, staff, board, and most importantly, the children and families who are essential to the CASA mission. The money raised will help our organization to expand our programs and enhance the advocacy we provide to children in foster care,” said CASA of Morris and Sussex Counties’ Executive Director, Dr. Lisa Barsky Firkser.

Tickets are $50 for adults and $25 for children (ages 2 – 17) and are available to purchase through the CASA website: https://www.casamsc.org/news-events/casa-at-the-zoo.html.

You can purchase tickets, become a sponsor, or make a donation.

The funds raised will go directly to support CASA’s mission to recruit, train, and supervise volunteers who provide a voice in court to assure each child a safe, permanent, and nurturing home.
