Once Upon A Time

...begins with someone who cares

Every story tells us the same thing: it takes one person to spark hope, inspire courage, and remind a child of their strength, worth, and resilience.

This year, you can join the story, helping a child in foster care turn the page to a brighter future.

Every story needs a Fairy Godmother. Join the children’s stories and get your ticket today!

Mystical Blooms Gala featuring the Gallery of Hope

Where Stories Blossom & Hope Takes Root

Join us at this year’s Mystical Blooms Gala featuring CASA’s 2026 Gallery of Hope, chaired by Dr. Kasi Howard, founder of San Antonio’s Innova Recovery Center and presented by 

Pardo Homan Trial Lawyers.

For children in foster care, life is not a fairy tale, and the journey can feel like wandering through dark and tangled woods. By their side stands a CASA Advocate, helping light their way, navigate obstacles, and open doors to new possibilities.

Step into the enchantment of the Mystical Blooms Gala and help write the next chapter. Your support makes it possible for more children to have an Advocate and a bright path forward, ensuring they can see beyond the woods to a future filled with promise.

The mission of Child Advocates San Antonio is to recruit, develop, and lead highly impactful court-appointment volunteer Advocates who provide constancy and support for children and youth who have experienced abuse and neglect. We achieve our mission through advocacy for services, supportive connections, and permanency, while emphasizing family and reunification when possible.

Your generosity is needed and deeply appreciated.
