Patselas Photographs for CASA

Contributed by: Emily Mills

This week, long-time CASA supporter and former Board Member Jennifer Patselas photographed six of our CASA advocates for our upcoming screening of "The Blind Side" in recognition of May as National Foster Care Month.

Jennifer was able to capture the true essence of a CASA advocate in the setting where it all happens - the courtroom. Her portraits will be displayed in the lobby of the Michigan Theater on May 20th during our event and benefit screening.

We are very grateful to Jennifer for coming forward with the idea to donate portraits to CASA. In the next month, she will also be photographing some of our high school youth who may not be able to afford senior pictures. She has offered to donate a generous packet of photos to each senior as well as a 90-minute photographing session. What a gift to our kids! We can't thank you enough, Jennifer--for your time, your artistry, your generosity and your care.

Please be sure to get your tickets for the event and come see Jennifer's stunning portraits of our CASAs.
