It is anticipated that over 100 OC-ALA chapter members and business partners will participate in the day's events.
OC-ALA Board President Theresa Lawrence was inspired to support Casa Teresa because of a personal connection Lawrence feels towards serving the vulnerable in our community. Says Lawrence, "It is a principle of our organization to always lend a helping hand, and Casa Teresa shares that vision. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of many young women and their children."
Says event chair Wendy Rice Isaacs, former Association of Legal Administrators National President of the second annual golf event, "This is such a beautiful day to come together to help those who need it most."
