Adams and Broomfield Counties, CO – CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) of Adams and Broomfield Counties , which provides advocacy for child victims of abuse and neglect, will host their annual Kaleidoscope of Hope (KOH) Fundraising Luncheon on Wednesday, November 17th from 11:30 am – 1:00 pm at The Plaza of The Denver Merchandise Mart. This year’s event is expected to draw over 400 guests who will gather to learn about the work CASA does through volunteer advocates who speak up in court for children who have suffered from abuse and neglect at the hands of their parents or guardians. There is no cost to attend the luncheon, however guests will be invited to make a financial contribution to help support CASA and its mission.“As the economy suffers, so do our children. Child abuse continues to increase,” commented Simone Jones, CASA Executive Director. “It is especially important now, more than ever, to step up the support for innocent child victims from our communities. Donations of any size are greatly appreciated and will help a child in need.”
