CASA Named ‘Organization of the Year’ by Pajaro Valley Chamber of Commerce

We are grateful to the Chamber and the wonderful Pajaro Valley business community for this wonderful honor, and for their important support of CASA and local children in the foster care system. Our community is a better place because of local businesses, faith-based groups and our generous service organizations. We are fortunate to be a part of Santa Cruz County and the Pajaro Valley!
