La Casa es su Casa "In the Company of Young Children"

La Casa de Don Pedro's annual cocktails and hors d'oeuvres reception, La Casa es su Casa, has been reformatted due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

This year's theme is "In the Company of Young Children" and will celebrate La Casa de Don Pedro's entry into infant and toddler care. The event will also recognize state and local leaders who have prioritized the well-being of New Jersey's youngest citizens, particularly those born to families with economic, educational, social-emotional, and health disparities.

In lieu of the in-person reception, La Casa de Don Pedro is excited to reshape the event into a video-centric celebration that will showcase support from all of our event sponsors and supporters. The celebration will also recognize the event honorees, and celebrate La Casa's impact in infant and toddler care as just originally planned, but just not in-person.

We are committed to taking the following measures to ensure that any purchase you make towards the event, which is also a donation to La Casa, provides you with the value and promotional opportunities you seek.

1. La Casa will devise, print, and share (via US mail and online) the La Casa es su Casa journal book, complete with your advertisement, as well as content on the event theme, the honorees, and other traditional information. The book will be mailed to all sponsors, journal ad purchasers, and event ticket purchasers. Please provide your ad by 3/23, if you haven’t already.
2. La Casa will create a La Casa es su Casa video that shares the event program, congratulates the honorees, celebrates infant and toddler care advances, and recognizes all sponsors and supporters. We will share the video online, via social media, e-blasts, and to the press.
3. La Casa will print large banners outside high traffic La Casa centers with logos and name listing of all sponsors and journal ad supporters.
4. La Casa will produce a press release documenting our response to managing our event during this time of crisis and highlight the value and adaptability of our sustaining contributors.
