Dear Friend,
I have volunteered to be a table captain for the CASA of Marion County We are for the Children Luncheon this year. I am deeply invested in the work they do advocating for children in foster care in Marion County who have experienced abuse and neglect.
This luncheon is a wonderful opportunity to learn about the CASA program and the impact it has in changing the story for vulnerable children throughout our community.
The event is one of the biggest fundraising events for CASA of Marion County, and while there is no cost to attend the event, there will be an ask following the program.
I am inviting you because I know you care deeply for the children in our community. I would be honored to have you as a guest at my table. Please let me know if you will be able to join me and if you have any dietary or accessibility concerns that we can address to ensure that you are comfortable at this event. I look forward to sharing more about this wonderful program with you.
