CASA Lake County (IL)

In This Section

Registration Closes: Friday September 13th, 2024

Please join CASA Lake County’s Board of Directors as we celebrate a year of life-changing work
performed by our CASA Volunteers and express gratitude for the supporters and community that made it possible.
CASA’s annual gala is a highlight of the year in Lake County and a showcase of the power that
each of us has to help our neighbors in need if we choose to do so. Through that choice, we can fight for every child’s
fundamental right to a safe home and the opportunity for a bright future.

TERRI ZENNER AWARD HONOREE
Joanna Lynn

Along with her service as a CASA Volunteer Advocate and member of the Board of Directors, Joanna Lynn served as CASA’s gala chairperson for seven consecutive years, leading events that raised more than $2,500,000 for the CASA program over that time. The Board of Directors will recognize this monumental achievement this year by presenting Joanna Lynn with the 2024 Terri Zenner Award for service to children in our community.

PROGRAM SPEAKER

Sanaii Williams

Former CASA youth and current pre-law major at Emory University.

GRATITUDE FOR CASA’S PERMANENT HOME
CASA will also recognize the people and organizations who played key roles in the 4-year, $1,300,000 project to purchase and renovate the CASA offices in Vernon Hills. This project has provided CASA with the space to train more volunteers and to serve more children that we ever have before.
