Out of this World: Stars Align at a Glance…

On November 6, 2025, our community of supporters came together at the Fox Club at the Timber Rattlers Stadium for Out of This World: Stars Align—and what a night it was.

Together, we celebrated community, hope, and the power of showing up for children who need stable, consistent support. From the immersive galactic atmosphere to the performances, fireworks, and record-breaking silent auction, the evening was nothing short of extraordinary.

Thanks to you, CASA continues to provide unwavering advocacy for children navigating challenging circumstances.
