WOW! We asked you to shop, shop, shop on Wednesday, September 16th and boy did you ever!We had a great turn out at Whole Foods Market on Washtenaw Avenue. Whole Foods Market generously donated 5% of total sales raising $4,508.25 for Friends of CASA.
THANK YOU to everyone for your support and commitment to our CASA kids.
It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces shopping and supporting the most vulnerable population in our community – our CASA children who have suffered from abuse and neglect. “I forwarded the email reminder to all my co-workers,” I was told multiple times by donors and volunteers alike. And, it worked! Thank you for spreading the word and recruiting individuals unfamiliar with CASA to lend their support for the day.
It was a great way to bring attention and awareness to child abuse in our community. We had four individuals request more information on becoming a CASA advocate and several more interested in joining our mailing list.
A special thank you to MaryAnn N. and Thea E. at Whole Foods Market for making the event possible. Your support allows CASA to recruit, train and support advocates…a voice for a child!
