CASA of Terrebonne is set to bring the excitement of Las Vegas to downtown Houma with its 3rd Annual “Pairings for a Purpose” event. Scheduled to take place at Mardi Gras Hall on August 10, 2024, from 6-10 p.m., this year’s fundraiser promises a night of entertainment, featuring 10 game tables, live performances, and authentic Las Vegas flair!
Tickets are priced at $85 per person, which includes $500 in playing chips, refreshments, and cocktails paired with tasting samples from locally-owned vendors. All proceeds from the event will support CASA of Terrebonne’s mission to advocate for children in foster care by providing independent and objective representation in court.
Each year, more than four thousand children in Louisiana navigate the complexities of social welfare and juvenile court systems, often due to abuse, neglect, or abandonment. CASA of Terrebonne recruits, trains, and supervises community volunteers to serve as the voice for these children in court. Appointed by a judge, these volunteers remain with each case until it is resolved, ensuring that the child is placed in a safe, stable, and permanent home. For many children, their CASA volunteer is the one constant adult presence throughout their time in foster care.
The funds raised from “Pairings for a Purpose” will enable CASA of Terrebonne to continue providing vital support to children and families within the community. For more information and to purchase tickets, please visit CASA of Terrebonne’s website.
