CASA of Merced County is honored to receive the Angels in Adoption award for 2020! The Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute program honors a wide spectrum of individuals and organizations making extraordinary contributions to adoption, permanency, and child welfare. CASA's name was submitted by Congressman Jim Costa.
CASA is in very good company, past recipients of this award include: Muhammad Ali, First Lady Laura Bush, Kristin Chenoweth, Scott Fujita, Deborra-lee Furness, Katherine Heigl and Josh Kelley, Patti LaBelle, Ne-Yo, Rhea Perlman, Shonda Rhimes, Korie and Willie Robertson, Al Roker, Jane Seymour, Sean Anders, Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy, Bruce Willis, Nia Vardalos, Bill Klein and Jen Arnold, Scott and Tracie Hamilton, Connie Britton, Rachel Crow, CBS Studios, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, NVIDIA, Hallmark Channel, and PEOPLE Magazine.
CASA of Merced County is one of two CASA's to receive the award this year; our neighbors in Kings County are also recipients.
Normally some of the CASA staff would be traveling to Washington DC to accept the award, but as we all know 2020 has put a twist on everything. This year the celebration will be virtual. The upside of this is that more of us can join in the celebration. The 2020 Angels in Adoption® Program will kick-off with a virtual gala on the evening of September 30. The Angels Leadership Program events for 2020 Angel honorees will run virtually throughout the month of October. CASA is excited to celebrate the Angels of Adoption Award with you!
