Voices for Children’s inaugural Uplifting Voices
Join co-chairs Patricia Brutten and Marina Marrelli for Voices for Children’s inaugural Uplifting Voices event.
Combining inspiring stories from the organization’s Court Appointed Special Advocate program, philanthropy, light bites, and fun, this event is sure to lift up the voices of our community’s most vulnerable children in foster care. During the program, NBC San Diego’s Mark Mullen will facilitate a conversation with award-winning journalist and fifth generation beekeeper Meredith May, author of The Honey Bus, a personal memoir of a young girl’s loss and courage.
May was five when her parents split, and she suddenly found herself in the care of her grandfather, an eccentric Big Sur beekeeper who made honey in an old military bus in the yard. As they bonded over the art of beekeeping, May discovered that everything she needed to know about life and family was right before her eyes, in the secret world of bees.
Attendees will have the opportunity to support the life-changing advocacy of CASA volunteers through a live auction and the opportunity to Fund-a-CASA.
