This year, a total of more than $1 million was raised by the premiere event. CASA Child Advocates of Montgomery County was awarded $50,000 during a check presentation at Waste Connections’ headquarters in The Woodlands on July 2, 2019.

CASA Executive Director, Ann McAlpin, shares, “Right now in Montgomery County, about 9 children enter foster care each week. It costs $1,500 to support one child with a volunteer Advocate for a year.” McAlpin continues, “This incredible donation from Waste Connections will allow us to provide more than 33 abused children with Advocates to look out for their best interests in the coming year.”
