It's our 20th Anniversary!

Can you believe it?! CASA has been advocating for children in foster care in Middlesex County for 20 years! Help us celebrate in style at our 20th Anniversary Fundraising Gala to be held on Wednesday, April 29th at Park Chateau Estate & Gardens in East Brunswick. This event is not one to be missed. Expect amazing food, fabulous company, a silent auction and an inspiring program.

We are proud to recognize three awardees for outstanding service to CASA and their broader communities:

Inspirational Leader Award: Gus Sleiman, longtime CASA supporter and owner of Evelyn's Restaurant in New Brunswick.

Superstar Advocate Award: Judith Martin Waterman, CASA advocate of over 15 years, Peer Coach and Board Liaison.

Seven Days of Matching Donations at CASA of Middlesex County

Donate this week to unlock the full power of your giving. Thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor, for the next six days, every gift will be matched up to $10,000, doubling your impact. Seize this moment to make your donation go twice as far!

Each contribution helps ensure that a child has someone in their corner: visiting regularly, understanding their unique needs and interests, reviewing their case, and speaking up for what is in their best interest. With your support, we will continue to provide this level of care so that every child has the opportunity to find safety, stability, and a permanent home.

CASA's Volunteer Appreciation Celebration

We had an amazing opportunity to show our appreciation to those who have gone above and beyond for children in out-of-home placements throughout Middlesex County. On what is casually known as Giving Tuesday, our organization flipped the script and made the day all about showing appreciation, instead of asking for donations. The event served as a fantastic reminder of the positive impact that we can make when we come together with a shared purpose.

Many thanks to all who attended!
