APRIL
Red Shoe Party 2025
Save the Date: April 26th, 2025 in Columbus, Ga
There’s No Place Like Home!
The Red Shoe Party is a fundraising event themed around Dorothy’s ruby red slippers in The Wizard of Oz emphasizing the slogan, “There’s No Place Like Home.” As children are removed from their homes due to abuse or neglect, it is CASA’s mission to help them reach permanency in a safe, stable home as quickly as possible.
This event is designed to be a party with a purpose, helping to raise money and awareness for Chattahoochee CASA so that our community volunteers have the training and support to continue advocating for our most vulnerable citizens. All proceeds benefit Twin Cedars Youth and Family Services, Inc. Court Appointed Special Advocates or CASA.
Please help us reach more children by making a gift today. Together, we can help a child thrive. See you there!
What do I wear? Cocktail attire with red shoes, of course! (But any pop of red will do—tie, dress, jewelry, etc.)
Who can attend? All guests 21 and up who want to support local children in foster care and CASA advocacy.

ABOUT GICH:
The Georgia Industrial Children’s Home has long been a home and a place of safety for young men who have been through challenging circumstances. It is a place where boys who have suffered neglect, abuse, or emotional trauma can come to heal. For a child who has been victimized and traumatized, we help him put his past behind him so that he can lead a productive life. We need you now more than ever to help ensure that these young men’s futures will be brighter than the scars of their past.
