The Gala is Cancelled but SFCASA’s Work Continues in this Critical Time

Please Consider a Gift Today 

We are devastated we’ve had to cancel our Fostering Change Gala, which normally provides one third of our revenue. Please consider supporting San Francisco CASA so we can maintain our staff and support the volunteers and children who rely on us.

Giving us hope during trying times are the remarkable activities of our CASA volunteers to ensure youths’ needs, whether a prescription medicine, counseling, or even a safe home don’t fall through the cracks of a system in crisis. Just this week,

  • Two CASAs assisted an elderly caregiver, a great aunt, who suddenly has three young boys in her care full-time. They’ve provided practical and emotional support when the aunt had nowhere else to turn.
  • Another CASA is working to arrange phone visits for a teenager and her only family member, a sister who is incarcerated while she is unable to visit in person.
  • A persistent CASA contacted numerous people at the youth’s school to ensure he had everything he needs to be able to earn the credits required for him to graduate this May, including a laptop and ongoing tutoring.

Your support is especially meaningful at this time. To respond to urgent needs, from groceries to cell phone bills, and lots of books, SFCASA created an Emergency Fund CASAs can access to support youth and their foster families.
