On Saturday, Sep. 15, a fundraiser was held at the Stigler VFW. It included a dinner catered by E's Hideaway. This event featured the music of R&B artist, Larry B. There was also be a silent and a live auction.

Proceeds from the event will benefit San Bois Court Appointed Special Advocate. “Last year, we helped 104 children from four different counties—Haskell, LeFlore, Latimer, and Pittsburg,” commented executive director at San Bois CASA, Leah McLaughlin. “We have trained, unbiased volunteers who are appointed by judges to speak for abused and neglected children with the goal of finding them safe and permanent homes.”

“We're a voice for these children who are going through the court systems. We're trying to help them lead as normal a life as possible. We listen, we help them through whatever situation that they have,” said Debbie Williams, one of the members of the San Bois CASA board of directors. “We receive grants and private donations for CASA to operate, but we still need fundraisers like this to help support the children that need us.”
