CASA holds 3rd Annual casas for CASA
Benefiting CASA of Bastrop, Inc.
Casas for CASA is a fundraising event that will benefit CASA of Bastrop, Inc. Casas for CASA is a playhouse raffle that will consist of two playhouses. Our theme this year is education, “The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you. ~ B. B. King” Our two playhouses represent education and it’s importance in the community. The Bastrop High School’s Building Trades classes, taught by Danny Hamilton is building the “little red school house” The Art Department and Agricultural Department also contributed to the project. Thanks to Monica Cooke of Lowe’s, CASA was awarded a Lowe’s Hero Project award to cover $1,200.00 of the building materials of the school house. Dennis Randolph, owner of Strong Events in Austin is building the “library” playhouse which is very unique and a one of a kind. Mr. Randolph has kindly donated all materials and labor for this playhouse. First National Bank has once again kindly allowed us display area in front of the bank and will also be selling tickets inside of the bank.
Mr. Hamilton feels that this is a good project for B.I.S.D and his students. The students have taken an active role in the event for the last two years and are doing so, once again.
Dennis Randolph said, “I am thrilled to be able to give back in a creative way to help children in Bastrop, Lee and Fayette Counties”. He also said, “It’s exciting to help the children that CASA serves in cities that may not have a large financial contributing base.” Mr. Randolph’s receptionist of 13 years is a resident of Bastrop and said “he can make anything, you give him a picture and he can do it. Many hands have gone into this project and all felt that they were proud to do something so special for such a worthy cause.
