Voices for Children brings back its annual gala in person at The Rady Shell

Voices for Children brought back its annual gala in person in a momentous way: at The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park. Founded in 1980, Voices for Children transforms the lives of children in foster care by providing them with Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs). These volunteers, trained and supported by Voices for Children, advocate for youth in court, school, medical settings, and more to ensure their needs are met. Chaired by Dale and Julie Yahnke and emceed by Marcella Lee, Starry Starry Night 2021 featured performances by San Diego Children’s Choir and Mainly Mozart Youth Orchestra, an exquisite dining experience, impactful stories from the CASA program and a retrospective of Voices for Children’s 40-year history, a live auction featuring one-of-a-kind items and trips, Fund-a-CASA paddle raise, presentation of the CASA of the Year award to Barbara Winicki, and live music and dancing under the stars.
