Join us Tuesday morning April 28th, for the 26th Annual Light of Hope Breakfast at the City Beautiful Ballroom at the Loews Hotel Kansas City, 1515 Wyandotte, Kansas City, Missouri.  Join us for coffee and networking beginning at 7:00 AM. Our program will begin promptly at 7:30 AM.  We'll announce our Light of Hope Award recipient, and honor an outstanding CASA Volunteer with the Teresa Rabideau Award for Volunteer Excellence. Our event will conclude by 8:30 AM.  The Independent magazine has named the Light of Hope Breakfast one of the Top 5 Breakfast/Lunch Events in Kansas City. This breakfast regularly attracts over 800 guests who come to learn more about CASA's advocacy for children and youth in foster care due to abuse or neglect.  The event also celebrates the significant contributions of over 300 CASA Volunteers who are the heart of Jackson County CASA.  Sponsorship opportunities are available for both individuals and companies.  Please use the sponsorship link below, or contact Lara Klover, LKlover@CASAKC.org to learn the many benefits of sponsorship.
