Heartland Dental Care is partnering with CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) of Effingham County to support the organization’s 4th Annual CASAblanca Gala. Heartland Dental Care has pledged an amount of $3,000 towards the fundraiser. All proceeds of the event will support CASA’s mission.

“We’re proud to be a part of this event,” said Patrick Bauer, President and Chief Operations Officer at Heartland Dental Care. “This organization provides stability in unstable times for children. We hope our participation inspires others to help them continue to do this important work.”

CASAblanca Gala “Dancing With Your Effingham County Stars” will feature five local celebrity couples in a dance competition, a silent auction, a playhouse raffle and dinner for attendees catered by Joe’s Pizza and Pasta. The event will take place at 6:00 p.m. on September 13th at the Effingham Knights of Columbus Building. Tickets are $35.00 and can be purchased at www.casaofeffinghamcounty.com or by calling 217-342-2266.
