Supporting Children in Need: CASA Nashville and the Red Shoe Gala
When it comes to making a lasting impact on the lives of children in need, few organizations do as much as CASA Nashville. As a nonprofit dedicated to advocating for children who have experienced abuse or neglect, CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) plays a vital role in our community. With their upcoming Red Shoe Gala just around the corner, now is the perfect time to shine a spotlight on the incredible work they do and how you can get involved.
What Is CASA Nashville?
CASA Nashville is a nonprofit organization that provides advocacy for children in Davidson County’s court system. When a child enters the foster care system due to abuse or neglect, they often face a daunting legal process. CASA volunteers, also known as Court Appointed Special Advocates, step in to give these children a voice, ensuring their best interests are represented.
CASA volunteers are carefully trained community members who work tirelessly to investigate cases, collaborate with attorneys and social workers, and make recommendations to judges that help children find safe, permanent homes. Their mission is to give every child the opportunity to thrive in a stable, loving environment.
The Red Shoe Gala: There’s No Place Like Hope
One of the ways CASA Nashville raises awareness and funds for their vital work is through their annual Red Shoe Gala. This year, the event promises to be an evening of fun, philanthropy, and community spirit. Here’s what you need to know:
Date: February 22, 2025 at 6:30pm
Location: Four Seasons Hotel
Attire: Cocktail attire with a fun twist—don’t forget your red shoes!
The Red Shoe Gala is more than just a fundraiser; it’s a celebration of the community’s commitment to supporting vulnerable children. Guests can look forward to live music, delicious food, silent and live auctions, and the opportunity to learn more about CASA Nashville’s mission.
Why Your Support Matters
Every dollar raised at the Red Shoe Gala helps CASA Nashville recruit and train more volunteers, allowing them to serve even more children in need. In 2022 alone, CASA Nashville served hundreds of children, but the need continues to grow. By attending the gala or making a donation, you can help ensure that no child falls through the cracks of the foster care system.
