Join us for an intimate evening of connection and celebration featuring a performance by Matt Maeson\, a live auction\, VIP experiences\, and plenty of opportunities to celebrate and learn more about the work we do every day in our community. \nThis event has been making a meaningful impact since 2012\, and all proceeds support CASA’s mission to provide critical resources for the children of Williamson County. Tickets start at $150 and are available here. If you can’t make it\, we’d also be grateful for any donations — even a small gift here makes a real difference for a child navigating a hard season.
