SAVE THE DATE: OCTOBER 23, 2025 - AN EVENING OF FRIGHTFULLY GOOD FUN

Join us at LOVEvents Banquet Hall (1803 Broadway St., Anderson, IN 46012) at 5:45pm on Thursday, October 23, 2025, for an evening of spooktacular fun and community celebration. Expect to run into some delightfully ghoulish guests as you munch hors d'oeuvres and creep your way through the silent auction to the dinner event, where we will celebrate our CASA of the Year, Ashley Smalley, and the recipients of this year's Judge Brinkman Child Advocate Award: individual awardee Sonia Caldwell (Anderson Community Schools & The A Town Center), and the organizational awardee Peyton Manning Children's - St. John's Children's Clinic. At this festive event, Halloween costumes will be very welcome - and costume contest prize winners will be selected!

WHY JOIN US?

Madison County ranks among Indiana’s highest --at #3 in the state--for substantiated child abuse and neglect cases. Our mission is crucial to meeting the advocacy needs of nearly 1,200 children in our local court system each year. Your support at this event gives us the means to recruit and train our team of advocates to meet this critical need. Your participation in this event means more than just a ticket or event contribution -- it is a way to ensure these children get back their voice in the courtroom and receive the secure, loving placement they need to thrive.

With your help, vulnerable children can go from feeling scared to feeling safe as they navigate our complex local court system with their supportive CASA (court appointed special advocate).
