Join us on April 30th to make sure that another young person has a consistent caring adult that can be the support that they need to fly.

2026 Fostering Change Gala
On May 1, at the Ritz-Carlton, SFCASA hosted the 2026 Fostering Change Gala. We are thrilled to share that $1.5 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 Ava Hansen, and the youth she supports, John Leon, 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, Fred & Jennifer Lim Tom O'Connell, and to Erwin Mock and all members of our Board of Directors for helping make the event such a tremendous success.
