Fostering Change Gala 2025

Friday, May 2, 2025

Tables and tickets are now available for the 2025 Fostering Change Gala! Please contact Jennifer Moya at jennifer@sfcasa.org with questions.

Join us for a hope-filled evening of good friends, cocktails, dinner, music, and a live auction.

We believe that every child deserves a strong, supportive community filled with encouragement and hope. Together we can help youth explore their strengths and dreams, let them catch the wind and soar, showing their true colors.

Join us on May 2nd to make sure that another young person has a consistent caring adult that can be the support that they need to fly!

CASA volunteers advocate for whatever youth need to explore their potential strengths -- whether in the courtroom, the classroom, or beyond, from eyeglasses to internships, music lessons to college tours. With a CASA at their side, foster youth are more likely to access financial aid and academic support and, year after year, more than 85% of SFCASA high school seniors graduate, compared to just 56% of foster youth statewide.

Whether you’re able to join us or not, help us honor our volunteers, youth, or anyone you’d like to honor with
a personal message and tribute gift of any amount.

Thank You to our Corporate Sponsors
