Nite at the Races

Nite at the Races is a benefit for Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA), a volunteer organization that advocates for abused and neglected children in the courts. A Nite at the Races is actual horse racing that has been video taped using cinematography cameras and narrated from start to finish by top announcers. Guests will purchase tickets, which include their meal and a race packet of funny money used to place bets on the races. The guests will have a chance to "WIN" something, "PLACE" their bets, and "SHOW" their skills. 

Sponsorship opportunities are available by calling Kelly Meyer at 913-651-6440.

CASA Superhero Run

Participation in the CASA Superhero Run benefits children in our community and that makes you a superhero in our eyes!  The Superhero run is broken into certified 10k and certified 5k routes.  The 5k is a Run/walk event.  
​
After the run our 12 and under superheroes will get their chance to participate in a 100 yard dash. Bouncy castle, face painting and costume contest are a few of the activities rounding out the morning event.

Ladies Night Out

Ladies Night Out is hosted by The Leavenworth Times ​each year in January.  It is a night for women of all ages to have fun and do some shopping while supporting two local agencies. The event features dinner samples from local restaurants, vendor booths to shop from, a silent auction, and raffle items. Proceeds from this event benefit our CASA agency as well as The Alliance Against Family Violence. Check out the event Facebook Page here for more information.

CASA Open Closet

First Judicial District CASA hosts an Open Closet in our basement on the first Tuesday (excluding holidays and weather permitting) of each month from 5-7pm.  Individuals can shop at no cost from gently used donations.  There is no income or identification requirements.  Items available vary by donations received. If you are interested in donating gently used items, please contact our office for donation hours.  Check our social media page for updates regarding closures or special items available.
