A Launch for Child Advocacy, Justice, and Education
Destination: Hope is an inspiring and fun-filled evening to help support two vital programs that provide resources, encouragement, and restoration for victims of child abuse and neglect in our community. The staff, board of directors, and many generous volunteers have been hard at work to create this inaugural event. We cannot wait to reveal our special theme for 2022 and we invite the community to join us to ensure a safe and healthy future for our children and families for years to come. ~Kerrie Stannell, WCCAC CEO
Next month, two local non-profits will begin a journey. Working together, the Williamson County Children’s Advocacy Center (WCCAC) and Court Appointed Special Advocates of Williamson County (CASA) daily focus on providing education and bring together a wide array of stakeholders to help minimize the trauma inflicted on children of abuse.
In 2022, both are excited about their first joint fundraising gala and auction appropriately named Destination: Hope. Even more than the event itself, their staffs, committees, and volunteers are eagerly anticipating the moment the Kahalari ballroom doors open and the evening’s actual destination is revealed for this inaugural event.
While both organizations exist to support and advocate for children and families who are simultaneously navigating life and the justice system, the gala is a celebration and acknowledgment of the work these steadfast agencies do every day in our community.
Guests should prepare to be delighted and surprised when the doors open at 5:30pm. The evening begins with a silent auction with refreshments, followed by a plated dinner, A-list entertainment, and the best guest services this state-of-the-art convention center has to offer.
This year’s auction will include many items and experiences appropriate for sports enthusiasts, day trippers, families, and kids. Sponsorships are available and guest tickets will be available soon at WilcoCAC.org and CASAWilco.org. Visit their websites today to learn more about their restorative and supportive strength, and take advantage of the opportunity to help raise funds to help vulnerable children in our county and communities.
