Fostering Change Gala 2025
Friday, May 2, 2025

Tables and tickets are now available for the 2025 Fostering Change Gala! Please contact Jennifer Moya at jennifer@sfcasa.org with questions.

Join us for a hope-filled evening of good friends, cocktails, dinner, music, and a live auction.

Our community plants the seeds of hope for foster youth. At San Francisco CASA, trusting relationships are the roots of everything we do, and those relationships provide the nourishment for hope to grow and youth to thrive. Every child deserves a strong community of support and encouragement.
You can support strong roots and nurture hope. Join us on April 26th to ensure another youth has the support of a consistent, caring adult.

Volunteer CASAs advocate for whatever youth need to explore their potential strengths -- whether in the courtroom, the classroom, or beyond, from eyeglasses to internships, music lessons to college tours. With a CASA at their side, foster youth are more likely to access financial aid and academic support and, year after year, more than 85% of SFCASA high school seniors graduate, compared to just 56% of foster youth statewide. 

Whether you’re able to join us or not, help us honor our volunteers, youth, or anyone you’d like to honor with
a personal message and tribute gift of any amount.

Thank You to our Corporate Sponsors
