Court Appointed Special Advocates

Wear to Where: CASA of Orange County

11.16.11

Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) is an organization that provides advocacy and a voice for foster children, many of whom cannot speak up for themselves. They provide training for community volunteers who wish to serve as advocates and mentors for severely abused, abandoned and neglected children.

On Nov. 10, CASA of Orange County and leading women’s multi-brand retailer INTERMIX, joined forces for a fashionable evening hosted by designer Andrea Lieberman of A.L.C. Guests were styled in the “must-haves” from her Fall collection while they sipped champagne and noshed on bites provided by Charlie Palmer. A portion of net sales generated that evening went towards the training of volunteers that will serve children in OC foster care.

CASA’s most prestigious and lucrative fundraiser coming up on Dec. 2 is the CASA Holiday Luncheon at the Ritz Carlton Laguna Niguel. This event will host a fabulous fashion show by INTERMIX which will feature designs by Missoni, Proenza Schouler, See by Chloe, Halston Heritage, Diane von Furstenberg, Mulberry, Thakoon and many more. The Luncheon will also include guest speaker and singer/songwriter Kevin Montgomery; a musician who toured 50 States in 50 Days to bring awareness to the plight of teens that are aging out of foster care in America. There will also be a silent auction and much much more.

All proceeds from the event benefit CASA of Orange County. To donate to CASA or purchase tickets for the luncheon, log on to casaholidayluncheon.com. It’s a sellout event, so act quickly!
