Thanks to everyone who participated in this year's Casa Mia, Mi Corazon event! We had a fantastic turnout, filling Casa Mia with 120 people for the evening.

Thanks to our auctioneer, Mr. Sam Williamson, the auction raised more than $10,000 for our Pope Street Cottage construction. All accounted, the event raised approximately $20,000 for our agency's work with abused and neglected children.

Thank you all! Please check out our Facebook Causes page to view photos from the evening. (If you wish to be redirected to our Facebook Causes page, please click here.)

Sunday, October 25th 7 p.m. @ Casa Mia Restaurant Casa Mia, Mi Corazon is a festive tapas dinner benefiting Children First. Those who attended last year know what an enjoyable evening this will be. Last year, we raised more than $6,000 and we hope the event will be even more successful this year.

Raffle items include a spa package, a sports memorabilia package, and a home and garden package. Additionally, this year we will be holding a "Hope on Pope" silent auction to sponsor aspects of the Pope Street Cottage construction.
