Celebrating Our New Headquarters Office

To kickoff the celebration of National Adoption Month, C.A.S.E. hosted a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony on Friday, November 1 commemorating our new headquarters in Burtonsville, Maryland. Guest speakers included Congressman Anthony Brown, Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich, dignitaries from local jurisdictions and former C.A.S.E. clients.

C.A.S.E. was also recognized with a Citation of Celebration from U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen and a Certificate of Recognition from Congressman John Sarbanes. We are excited to expand our reach in the community and beyond!
