On Friday, September 23rd, CASA celebrated with 275 friends and donors at the Hoops & Barley Ball. To accomodate a growing interest in the annual fundraiser, this year's location was moved to the College Basketball Experience in the Kansas City Power & Light District.
The auction event brought together numerous corporate partners who helped to underwrite the evening, including Performance Contracting Group as Presenting Sponsor. Wearing their favorite team apparel, guests enjoyed a casual night of competition, game-day dining stations, and had access to the College Basketball Hall of Fame. The evening also included a silent auction and a $25,000 grand prize drawing opportunity. A giving tree where gifts directly benefited CASA kids and the continuation of ongoing programming was also on-site. Entertainment for the evening was available through many experience game booths offered at the venue.
"The new location in the College Basketball Experience brought a bit of friendly competition and renewed energy to our annual event," says Alyssa Perbeck, CASA's Development Director. "We were excited to see such great interest in the new atmosphere."
CASA would like to thank presenting sponsor PCG, as well as lead sponsors Lentz Clark Deines and Lockton Companies. We also thank the many other corporate partners and friends for success of the evening.
