Dear Friend,

CASA of East Tennessee’s 7th Annual Red Shoe Gala fundraiser is coming up! We are very excited for this year’s event, which will be held on Saturday, February 2nd, 2019, at The Standard Knoxville.

With your support, we can have our best year yet and raise funds to provide advocacy for abused and neglected children in Knox County. Please join CASA of East Tennessee in making our 7th Annual Red Shoe Gala fundraiser a success by giving a monetary gift.

With our “There’s no place like home.” Wizard of Oz theme, this year’s Red Shoe Gala will include dinner and dancing fun. Local band The Coveralls will entertain guests to dance the night away and cocktails, wine, and beer open bar, full dinner, and delicious desserts are included. A large selection of local goods and exciting experiences will be available through our silent auction.

Based on the belief that children are entitled to a safe and permanent home, Court Appointed Special Advocates of East Tennessee works through trained volunteers in collaboration with Knox County Juvenile Court, key agencies, legal counsel, and community resources to represent the needs of children who need a voice. This year we served 251 children with 55 advocates, but more children need us. Funds raised through Red Shoe Gala will go toward our mission to:

> provide a voice for a child so that they do not become lost in an overburdened, confusing system > recruit, train, and support volunteers who will be the “eyes and ears” of Knox Co Juvenile Court > paint a full picture of each child’s situation, desires, and best interests > connect families with needed resources through volunteers’ informed recommendations > find children safe, permanent, loving homes where they can thrive

We are a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization (EIN #: 62-1278520), so check with your tax advisor on tax-deductibility of your donation. Supporters will be recognized as outlined in the attached Sponsorship Form.

We cannot make this event a success without your support. Please consider sponsoring today.

With gratitude,
