ROCK THE CASA is a Concert to Benefit CASA
CASA for Children of Bergen County is a 501(c)3 nonprofit
organization (EIN#90-0060769) whose missions is to recruit, screen,
train and then supervise volunteers from the community to advocate for
the best interests of children in the foster care system.
We are tremendously grateful to the local business owners, community leaders
and individual members of the community who support our work with taxdeductible
donations. By investing in CASA you help us provide additional
CASA volunteers to these children and the children themselves will receive the
one-on-on specialized advocacy they deserve. CASA volunteers work to ensure
that children in foster care receive all the service they need while in care
and work diligently to have them placed in safe, secure, and permanent homes
as quickly as possible. In return for your generous donation, we are happy to
honor your giving with recognition on our website, in our newsletter and at our
Rock the CASA event. Based on the number of children you wish to reach,
please select from the six Sponsorship levels available. Also, please let us know
