CASA raffle

The Child Advocacy Services has unveiled the fourth playhouse design from Holly and Smith Architects – complete with a slide, catwalk and steering wheel, a writing wall and ladder to the second story.

Two playhouses will be built from Dufreche and Morvant’s design, and both will be raffled, along with a beach trip to Destin, Fla., during CASA’s annual fundraising event. Tickets are being sold, and the drawing will take place in the middle of November.

Raffle tickets are $10 each, Bliss said. To help build excitement for Cottages, the second annual Sundresses and Shrimp Boots event will be held today, at Frenier Landing in LaPlace. The tickets to Sundresses and Shrimp Boots are $35 per ticket.

Sponsorships for the Cottages for CASA program are still available and range from $1,000 to $250, Bliss said.

Booths are $35 for a single and $60 for a double and can be reserved for indoors or outdoors. UMW will be doing the concessions so you will want to remember to stop for some lunch that day too.
