Holiday Cheer for CASA children
Sacramento CASA celebrates the holidays with our children on a special day of fun with other CASA children and their advocates.

Renegade Classics benefited Sacramento CASA in their motorcycle toy run this year, Elk Grove Honda has spearheaded a toy drive, and elves from Ameriquest are wrapping the gifts. We thank these community partners for sharing the spirit of the holidays with our special children!
