About The honorable Dale H. harris hall of Fame Award
In recognition of CASA's 20th anniversary and to honor The Honorable Dale H. Harris, who initiated the establishment of the CASA program, CASA of Central VA established the Honorable Dale H. Harris Volunteer Hall of Fame. The first twelve volunteers were inducted at CASA's 20th Anniversary Celebration on March 19, 2010.
The Hall of Fame was intended to recognize exemplary volunteers - board members as well as CASA volunteers - who had made significant contributions to the organization and to achieving positive outcomes for abused and neglected children. Each inductee is presented with an engraved, clear acrylic award; and his or her name is engraved on a perpetual plaque, which is displayed in the CASA Administrative Office.
In order to be inducted, volunteers must meet the following selection criteria:
Must have served as a CASA volunteer or on CASA's Board of Directors for a minimum of three years.
Must have demonstrated exemplary services as a volunteer, often going above and beyond the duties outlined in the job description.
Must have made a measurable impact to improve the organization or the life of an abused and neglected child.
Has received a written recommendation from a staff member or other volunteer familiar with the nominee's contributions.
About the Blair Moseley Corporate Excellence Award
This award was established in 2017 in memory of former CASA board member, Blair Moseley. The award honors the legacy Blair left to CASA of Central Virginia. With a clear vision of the future and the need to secure funding and ensure sustainability, Blair helped to establish the Heart and Sole Shoe Market.
Through her connections in the shoe industry and with Consolidated Shoe Company, the first shoe sale was held in the spring of 1999 and brought in $6,000. The event continued to grow and one year brought in a record setting $86,000. Although the event has transformed and re-branded throughout the years, it continues to be a signature fundraiser for CASA. We are grateful for Blair's vision and for Consolidated Shoe Company's continued support.
Each year, this award is given to the companies and organizations who have gone above and beyond to support our mission and assist in efforts toward long-term financial sustainability for our program.
