The Child’s Table

Every Child Deserves a Voice

On Thursday, October 29, 2026, join CASA of the Coastal Bend for the inaugural The Child’s Table fundraising luncheon.

We’ve all heard of the kids’ table—the place where children are often expected to sit quietly while the important conversations happen somewhere else. The Child’s Table represents something different. It symbolizes every child in foster care having a voice, someone to stand beside them, and an advocate ensuring they are heard when life-changing decisions are made.

Your attendance helps recruit, train, and support CASA volunteers who advocate for children who have experienced abuse or neglect throughout the Coastal Bend.

Date: Thursday, October 29, 2026
Time: 11:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m.
Location: Hilliard Event Center – Henry Garrett Ballroom
Attire: Business Casual to Business Professional
