The theme for the event is "Fitting In, Getting Involved, Finding Yourself." CASAC’s mission is to reduce alcohol, tobacco, other drug abuse and other addictive behaviors among youth and, over time, among adults within our 16-town area. This multi-cultural event is designed to help Latina and non-Hispanic girls ages 9-14, their mothers, and other female caregivers to build self-esteem, mental health, decision-making skills, and assertiveness to prevent the abuse of alcohol, tobacco, and illicit drugs encouraging them to feel good about themselves. It is an opportunity for young girls to celebrate who they are with other girls and the adult women in their lives.

As such, this ALL girl celebration will highlight Hispanic culture, promote cultural exchange and provide informative and empowering workshops that will include topics on self-esteem, healthy habits, alcohol/tobacco and other drugs. In addition, there will be participating agencies represented, a free lunch, and entertainment provided by a local D.J. Participants will also receive a free t-shirt which we would like girls to help design.
