Parade of Playhouses

CASA’s Annual Parade of Playhouses Raffle is BACK, with 2024 promising to be the best year ever!

In this annual fundraiser home builders, organizations, and individuals design, build and donate extraordinary, full-size, children’s playhouses. Raffle tickets are sold for these one-of-a-kind playhouses, raising funds for CASA to help abused & neglected children have safe, permanent homes where they can thrive. Raffle tickets are sold throughout November and early December, while the playhouses are displayed throughout the communities we serve. The playhouses are then on FULL display at the Huntsville Lions Club Christmas Parade. Playhouse winners will be drawn December 11th and playhouses will be sent home with 6 very lucky winners!
