Pulaski County CASA Storybook Gala

An Evening in Oz

Saturday, April 26, 2025

E.O. Manees House

Step into the magical world of Oz as we come together for an unforgettable evening at the Pulaski County CASA Storybook Gala, inspired by the timeless tale of The Wizard of Oz. Join us as we celebrate the incredible journey of helping children in foster care find a safe and permanent place to call home—because truly, there’s no place like home.

At CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates), our community volunteers are dedicated to advocating for the best interests of children in foster care, ensuring they have the support and guidance they need to thrive. This special evening will raise critical funds to support this life-changing mission.

Put on your ruby slippers, follow the yellow brick road, and join us for a night filled with heart, courage, and community. Together, we can help more children find the safety, stability, and love they deserve.

Tickets available now to secure your spot in Oz! 🌈✨

Pulaski County Friends of CASA, Inc., along with Judge Barry Hyde host the Annual Judge’s Cup CASA Classic each year to raise funds to support Pulaski County CASA.

Pulaski County CASA is a child welfare organization that trains volunteers from our community to advocate for children that have been removed from their homes due to abuse or neglect.  These volunteers are appointed by the Court as Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) to make recommendations and speak for the children in Court in order to ensure the children’s needs are met and that they are in a safe and permanent home as soon as possible.

A Day of Golf Can Change A Child’s Story.

Sponsors, Teams, and Individual Players are needed.  Unable to take part?  We invite you to share about our event with others or make a donation.

Join us for the 30th Annual Judge’s Cup CASA Classic, commemorating 3 DECADES of golf to support children in foster care. This event will be held at The Greens at North Hills on September 19, 2025.  Lunch will be served at 11:00 am with a shotgun start at 1:00 pm.

Pulaski County Friends of CASA, Inc. and the Light of Hope Committee hosted the Light of Hope breakfast on October 14, 2025 in the chapel at First Pentecostal Church of North Little Rock.  This year’s event is sponsored by First Pentecostal Church of North Little Rock & Gwatney Buick GMC.

Light of Hope (LOH) is a free informational breakfast that takes place each year to bring focus to the plight of abused and neglected children in our community.  LOH is a fundraising event that not only highlights the needs of children in foster care, but also spotlights the positive impact that volunteer CASA Advocates have on the cases we are assigned to.  

Pulaski County Friends of CASA, Inc. presents the Light of Hope Breakfast each year to raise awareness and financial support to serve the children that are navigating the foster care system.  At any given time, there are more than 500 children in care in Pulaski County alone.  Our sponsors and donors for the LOH event allow us to increase the number of children that will benefit from having a CASA Advocate assigned to their case.  Your support has a huge impact on the children we serve and provides them a Voice in Court through the volunteer CASA Advocates that serve them.
