We want to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who generously donated their time and resources to make our Back to School Picnic a huge success. Your contributions helped us offer a memorable and fun-filled experience for our CASA youth matches. 

Firstly, a shout out to two extraordinary people, Sharon Engstrom, and Misty Webb, for bringing together all of the vendors & volunteers and coordinating every detail of this event! As a veteran Sponsor & Planner of this event, Sharon has extensive insider knowledge and experience instrumental to its success every year.
