Dallas CASA presents the annual Parade of Playhouses, which features custom-designed and built children's playhouses on display and available to win by raffle. All funds raised from the event benefit the child victims of abuse or neglect served by Dallas CASA's volunteer advocates.

Playhouses are designed and built by Dallas-area architects, builders, corporations and craftsmen who donate their time and materials. Playhouses run the gamut of style and design, from pop culture-inspired castles to modern, abstract designs and from tiny versions of North Dallas new construction to play-based climbing structures.

The houses are a visual representation of the dreams of children in foster care who simply want permanent homes where they are safe and loved. Parade of Playhouses brings attention to the needs of children who are living in the protective care of the state because it isn't safe at home.

Amidst an overwhelmed child welfare system, Dallas CASA volunteers advocate for these children's therapeutic, medical and educational needs, as well as their need for permanent, loving homes where they can grow to reach their full potential. Dallas CASA's volunteers seek to protect children and restore childhood.
