Cooking for CASA

Cooking for CASA is Children in Placement's premier fundraising event,
featuring wine, jazz, and exquisite foods from more than a dozen of the area's
best eateries. 



The event has grown so much over the past 13 years
that we had to move to a larger venue! The food, wine and restaurant staffs’
time is all donated and costs are minimal. As much as 90% of every dollar
raised with this event goes to child advocacy and empowerment. This fundraising
effort will help provide the monies we need to serve hundreds of children each
year. 



The goal of Children in Placement, a
statewide child advocacy and youth empowerment program, is to see every child
in a safe and permanent home, preparing for life outside the state system.
Children in Placement (CIP) is the Connecticut affiliate of the National CASA(Court
Appointed Special Advocates) Program.
