CASA “Pack With Pride” Pool Party

Approximately 200 Pinal Co. foster children will be attending an annual pool party with a special undercurrent this year.

The party, organized by the Pinal Co. office for Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA), will be held at the Casa Grande Aquatics Park on Sat., Aug. 18th. The 2007 pool party will mark the 1st year that foster children in the CASA program will receive personalized duffel bags with a lap quilt and stuffed animal to bring along as they navigate through the County’s foster care system.

The “Pack With Pride” program was part of a major public outreach campaign organized by Sundt Construction, Kimley-Horn & Associates & Pinal Co. to benefit CASA kids.

An additional $22,500 in donations were raised for ACCI, the Arizona Council for CASA, Inc., which will be applied toward tutoring lessons for some of the foster children.

Sundt, Kimley-Horn and Pinal Co. would like to thank the many individuals and following businesses who made “Pack With Pride” a success.
