The evening will feature a captivating experience with delicious food, engaging conversations, and opportunities to support children in foster care through our silent and live auctions.
Be inspired by our keynote speaker, Derek Clark, the “Rapping Dad.” Derek’s journey from foster care to becoming a viral sensation delivers powerful messages of resilience and hope, leaving a lasting impact on audiences worldwide.

We’re excited to honor Dan Ashley, ABC7 News Anchor and CASA Board Member, with the Light of Hope award for his incredible commitment to foster youth through Rock the CASA.
We’re also thrilled to have Joy Ofodu, a talented voice actor and content creator, as our host. Known for her engaging charisma, Joy will bring lively energy to make the gala an unforgettable experience.
Join us for a heartwarming evening that promises inspiration, connection, and the opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of vulnerable children in Contra Costa County. We can’t wait to share this meaningful night with you!
