2025 Fostering Change Gala


On May 2, at the Ritz-Carlton, SFCASA hosted the 2025 Fostering Change Gala. We are thrilled to share that $1.3 million was raised, thanks to the incredible generosity of over 500 supporters who came together to uplift youth in foster care and the juvenile justice systems.  

CASA volunteer Mark Roh, and the youth he supports, Kyle Chambers, and Josh Chambers gave a moving speech about their relationship, and heartwarming youth stories were featured in the Youth Story Gallery, highlighting the heart of our mission.  

A heartfelt thank you to our Gala Chairs, Felix Burmeister and Eamon Foley, and to Erwin Mock and all members of our Board of Directors for helping make the event such a tremendous success.
