CASA of McHenry's Light of Hope Breakfast

Every day, abused and neglected children in our community are taken from their homes and placed into temporary foster care because their parents cannot - or will not - take care of them. Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of McHenry County works to help these children find safe, permanent homes where they can thrive. CASA volunteers make a life-long difference for children, one child at a time.

On Tuesday, April 16th CASA will host the 7th annual Light of Hope Breakfast. The program this year includes special guest speaker/author John Borgstedt. John spent his childhood terrorized by his mother and those mandated by the state to care for him. His story of survival and hope is not to be missed.

Reservations are required to attend. Please contact CASA to reserve your seat today.  www.casamchenrycounty.org

If you are interested in organizing a table for the event or would like to become a sponsor call 815-363-5920 or email email kelly@casamchenrycounty.org
