CASA’s Board of Directors Pushes to Obtain Funding

Thank you to CASA’s Board of Directors for their tireless advocacy to the City of Raleigh and Wake County in an effort to ensure CASA’s continue operating funding. These funding streams, totaling $189,000, are imperative to CASA’s day-to-day operations.

The knowledge and leadership of three new Board Members are helping CASA’s Board to shape the future of our agency. Welcome Alicia Gilleskie, Rob Griffin, and Dennis Boothe Jr. to the CASA family!

Alicia Gilleskie is an attorney with Smith Anderson LLP, and also serves her community of Raleigh through her involvement with the Junior League. Rob Griffin is the Director of Asset Management for Scientific Properties, a real estate development firm located in Durham. A Durham native, Rob now lives in South Raleigh. Dennis Boothe Jr. lives and works in Durham, serving as General Counsel for Builders of Hope, a Triangle area non-profit housing developer.

Downtown Carrboro

Communities like Chapel Hill, Carrboro, Durham, and Raleigh struggle with how to house and serve people with disabilities, people who are homeless, and those with very low incomes. It’s easy to forget that these populations are comprised of unique persons.

In this series of snapshots, Projects Coordinator Jess Brandes uncovers the positive impact CASA has on tenant’s quality of life.

CASA extends a HUGE thank you to Greg Byrd from Byrd Tile Distributors for his donation of tile, and to General Shale for donated bricks. These materials have been graciously given for CASA’s office renovation project. These gifts will not only keep this project within our budget, but they have allowed CASA to reallocate funds for additional office improvements. We are very grateful for the partnership and generous spirit of these fine local businesses.
