OUR MISSIONInform Americans of the economic and social costs of substance abuse and its impact on their lives.

Assess what works in prevention, treatment and law enforcement.

Encourage every individual and institution to take responsibility to combat substance abuse and addiction.

Provide those on the front lines with the tools they need to succeed.

Remove the stigma of substance abuse and replace shame and despair with hope.

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN

CASA is working to help parents, schools and all those who influence children and teens understand that the key to a drug-free society is raising healthy, drug-free kids.

When I started CASA in 1992, First Lady Betty Ford, one of our founding board members, said, “Joe, if we can just peel the stigma off of substance abuse and addiction, we will change the world.” Over the past twenty years, I have learned how right she was.

We now know that substance abuse and addiction is a complex neurological, psychological, physical, emotional and spiritual disease. The work of scientists in our nation and around the world has confirmed this reality. We also know that it is our nation’s most pervasive personal and public health problem, one that touches just about every family and circle of friends in America.

CASA was founded on postulates now proven to be true: the problem is abuse and addiction, not any particular substance; abuse and addiction of all substances—nicotine, alcohol, illegal and prescription drugs—share common neurological and psychological characteristics; and substance abuse and addiction are implicated in the nation’s rocketing healthcare costs, crime, domestic violence and child abuse, teen pregnancy rates, homelessness, spread of AIDS and STDs, academic dropouts and failures, and family breakups. It is now obvious that one of the keys to dealing with federal, state and local budget deficits is to prevent and treat substance abuse and addiction.

So why do our leaders and our people not see this and act on these realities? Why don’t we accord drug and alcohol abuse and addiction the same respect that we accord other chronic diseases like hypertension and diabetes? Because we have so stigmatized this disease, so drenched it in shame, that individuals with parents, spouses, children and friends who abuse or are addicted to drugs and alcohol keep it under the covers. Most doctors don’t want to deal with it. Schools and colleges often treat it as a rite of passage. Well, it’s time for those of us who are committed to combating substance abuse and addiction to shout, “We’re mad as hell and we’re not going to take stigmatizing this disease and those who have it anymore!” We must insist that our people and our medical and public health community act on the reality that addiction is a developmental disease, one that usually begins in the teen years.

CASA is working to help parents, schools and all those who influence children and teens understand that the key to a drug-free society is raising healthy, drug-free kids. Parents are the most influential source of information any child has, for better or worse. Parents who talk to their children about the dangers of smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol and using other drugs, set a good example and send a clear no-use message, are parents whose children will choose not to use.

CASA researchers work to create proven, effective approaches to keep American families and children healthy and drug free. These extraordinary professionals and their work serve as a source for health professionals, politicians, educators, the media, law enforcement and the judicial system, corporations and community organizations that need accurate, insightful, detailed and unbiased information on substance abuse and addiction.

We’ve achieved a great deal over these past two decades, educating Americans about how drug and alcohol addiction causes and exacerbates just about every social problem the nation faces. We have developed effective prevention and treatment programs for the most vulnerable populations, like high-risk children and mothers on welfare. We have called attention to besotted college campuses. But we still haven’t peeled the stigma off this disease.

This year, CASA welcomed back William H. Foster, PhD, to become President and Chief Executive Officer. Bill previously served as CASA’s Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, and is a talented, dedicated and resourceful leader and executive.

We have also added two new directors to our board—Gene Jankowski, former president of CBS Broadcasting, who brings a wealth of communications experience to our efforts, and Jeffrey Lane, former President of Neuberger Berman and Bear Stearns Asset Management, who brings an extraordinary depth of investment expertise to our board.

Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP provides CASA with pro bono legal counsel. We are especially grateful to Frederick W. Kanner, Harvey Kurzweil, Rachel Berk, Matthew DiRisio, Seth Farber, Stanton Lovenworth, William MacDonald, Janis Meyer, Monique Ribando, Brian Taylor and Katherine H. Walden.

We are fortunate to have had Jamie Lee Curtis once again lend her time and voice to our Family Day—A Day to Eat Dinner with Your ChildrenTM public service announcements, and to have the CBS Corporation donate PSA air time, to increase awareness of this important family initiative.

Special thanks to Ivan Chermayeff and the firm of Chermayeff and Geismar for the redesign of the CASA logo; David Patrick Columbia and Eric Weiss, who donate photographs for use in this annual report; the law firm of Reed Smith; Board member Michael Roth and The Interpublic Group of Companies for their creative expertise in helping CASA get its message out to millions of Americans; McCann Erickson’s Jonathan Goldmacher, Brandon Larson and Brian Racis, who are providing guidance and counsel as we develop new and dynamic marketing and communications solutions; and Janine DelGiorno, Ashley Hughes, John Palisay, Aurelio Saiz, Dana Ganci, Joyce Azor, Carl Weber and Alex Chu at Draftfcb, who produce this annual report. We appreciate the continued assistance of KPMG Peat Marwick, our independent auditors led by Lisa Hinkson.

All these individuals and institutions are invaluable allies as we seek to find the most effective ways to combat substance abuse and addiction in America. But we need your help. I ask you to help us by making a contribution to CASA. All proceeds go to conquering the stigma attached to this disease and helping families raise healthy, drug-free kids.

2 Office of Applied Studies. (2010). The OAS report: A day in the life of American adolescents: Substance use facts update. Rockville, MD: Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.

Every year, 79,000 Americans die from alcohol abuse.1

Every year, due to alcohol abuse, approximately 2,000 college students will be killed, 100,000 will be sexually assaulted and 700,000 will be injured.

Each day, more than 3,800 youth under the age of 18 try their first cigarette, more than 4,300 use an illicit drug, and 7,540 children and teens take their first drink.2

Addiction is America’s number one healthcare and health cost problem. BUT THERE IS HOPE.

For almost 20 years, CASA has been working to foster change in the way we look at and deal with substance use and addiction; from the White House to your house—and everywhere in between.

CASA is the nation’s leading independent voice in the field of substance use and addiction regarding the best possible policies and practices as they apply to the prevention of, treatment for, and recovery from this devastating disease. The scope of our work touches all Americans, from healthcare professionals, to policymakers, to parents.

Behind Bars II: Substance Abuse and America’s Prison Population (February 2010)

This report, an update of CASA’s 1998 landmark study, Behind Bars: Substance Abuse and America’s Prison Population, revealed that almost two-thirds of the people in our nation’s prisons and jails meet medical criteria for substance abuse and addiction. This report exposed the extent to which alcohol and other drugs are involved in violent, property and other crimes; the co-occurring health and mental health problems of inmates; and inmates’ need for and access to addiction treatment. Recommendations included cost-effective options for intervention, treatment and aftercare.Funded by CASA and the National Institute of Justice, Office of Justice Programs in the U.S. Department of Justice.

National Survey of American Attitudes on Substance Abuse XV: Teens and Parents (August 2010)

CASA’s 15th annual teen survey revealed that 27 percent of public school students ages 12 to 17 say that their school is both gang- and drug-infected (drugs are used, kept or sold on school grounds). The CASA survey also found that one in three middle schoolers say that drugs are used, kept or sold at their school, a 39 percent increase since 2009. The survey established a link between strong family ties and a reduced likelihood of teen substance abuse.Funded by Family Day sponsors.

The Importance of Family Dinners VI (September 2010)

Released in conjunction with CASA’s Family Day— A Day to Eat Dinner with Your ChildrenTM, this report confirmed that teens who have infrequent family dinners (fewer than three per week) are more than twice as likely to say that they expect to try drugs in the future. The report found that teens who have infrequent family dinners are twice as likely to have used tobacco; almost twice as likely to have used alcohol; and one and a half times likelier to have used marijuana.Funded by Family Day sponsors.

REPORTS IN PROGRESSAdolescent Substance Use: America’s #1 Public Health Problem (2011)

CASA is conducting a comprehensive assessment of the epidemic problem of substance use and dependence among American teens. The report will make a very clear case that addiction is a disease whose origins are to be found in adolescence, and that teen substance use is a public health problem with enormous consequences and costs to society. The study will review current knowledge of the science of addiction as a complex brain disease and developmental disorder; will analyze the culture in which high school students live and the factors contributing to or driving their behavior, as well as the attitudes, perceptions and behavior of parents, teachers and other school personnel and other significant adults in students’ lives; and will examine the results of these behaviors, including student academic achievement and other health and social consequences. The study will also address the effectiveness of current prevention and intervention strategies and review best practices to help ensure the health, academic success and employment opportunities for current and future generations of teenagers.Funded by Legacy®, the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, the Carnegie Corporation of New York and the Michael Alan Rosen Foundation.

National Survey of American Attitudes on Substance Abuse XVI: Teens and Parents (August 2011)

CASA will conduct its 16th annual teen survey with 1,000 teens ages 12 to 17 and their parents to identify the attitudes and factors that make teens more or less likely to use tobacco, alcohol and other drugs.Funded by Family Day sponsors.

Examination of the National Treatment System (2011)

CASA is conducting an in-depth examination of addiction treatment in the United States. The study will report on the current state of treatment in the US; look at how addiction and treatment are defined and viewed by healthcare professionals, researchers, policymakers and the general public; identify the required qualifications and standards of treatment providers; document the characteristics of those in need of treatment and of those who receive it; review the cost of addiction treatment and the financial systems that support it; and expose the costs of our failure to treat the disease of addiction. This study will also include recommendations for what it will take to build a sound infrastructure for treatment in this country.Funded by the Annenberg Foundation; the Franklin Mint and The Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund; the New York Community Trust; and the Adrian and Jessie Archbold Charitable Trust.

POLICY TO PRACTICECASA’s efforts to convert our research findings and policy recommendations into large-scale, institutional change continue to play a central role in CASA’s mission.

FamiliesLast year Family Day—A Day to Eat Dinner with Your ChildrenTM celebrated its 10th anniversary. Based on information in How to Raise a Drug-Free Kid: The Straight Dope for Parents, presentations

have been given in communities across the country with the purpose of educating parents about teen substance abuse, how to prevent it, how to recognize the signs of abuse and how to intervene.

WomenWith continued support from the Bristol-Myers Squibb Foundation, CASA continues to find ways to implement recommendations from the 2006 book, Women under the Influence, regarding how to reduce risky alcohol, tobacco and prescription and illegal drug use and addiction among girls and women.

This year, CASA prepared Preventing and Treating Risky Substance Use and Addiction in Girls and Women: A Guide for States. This guide, based on the blueprint plan created by the State of Florida, is a user-friendly “how-to” manual for states wishing to improve the health of their female citizens and reduce the costly burden of substance misuse and addiction. The guide will be released in 2011.Funded by the Bristol-Myers Squibb Foundation.

Treatment Research and Demonstration ProgramsNIDA K02 Grant—Integrated Family-Based Treatment of Co-Occurring Adolescent Substance Use Disorders and ADHDIn February 2010, CASA announced that Aaron Hogue, PhD, Associate Director of the CASA Health and Treatment Research and Analysis Division, was awarded the prestigious five-year K02 grant from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). The grant will support his training and collaborative research in behavioral intervention science, psychopharmacology, and neuro-imaging research related to adolescent substance use, which will culminate in the development of a family-based treatment model specifically designed to treat adolescent substance users with co-occurring attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.Funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse.

CASALEAPSM (Learning Effective Approaches to Prevention)is a study investigating the strengths, problems and service needs of substance-involved teenagers and their families in New York City in order to improve the quality of youth social programs and school guidance and community treatment services.Funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse.

CASAHOPESM (Housing Opportunities Program Evaluation)is a cutting-edge evaluation of the New York/New York III Housing First Program, a joint venture between the city and the state, which aims to effectively shelter chronically homeless addicts, and in the process save taxpayers money by reducing healthcare, criminal justice and other social welfare costs. The program provides stable housing to homeless drug and alcohol users without first requiring them to have six months of sobriety.Funded by the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation.

CASACCARESM (Chronic Care Approaches to Recovery)is a joint program with the New York State Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services (OASAS) that will develop and test new chronic disease management approaches to addiction. It will improve upon a new OASAS program that provides case management for the most costly users of Medicaid substance abuse treatment. The program will be tested in New York State’s Albany and Nassau counties, where CASA researchers will evaluate the effectiveness of the disease management program in stabilizing these individuals’ lives as well as saving taxpayer dollars.Funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse.

CASASARDSM II (Substance Abuse Research Demonstration)Stemming from CASA’s original CASASARDSM treatment model in New Jersey, which has been

7

implemented statewide, CASA experts are conducting two separate analyses of the program.

The first will examine the cost benefit of a case management program developed by CASA scientists that has been shown to be effective in reducing substance use, and will study how well an intervention designed and tested by scientists stands up when implemented under real-world conditions.Funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse.

The second is a comprehensive analysis of the same state-run case management program for families with children on welfare. CASA will study the program’s potential taxpayer benefits that derive from the reduced drain on publicly financed services.Funded by The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.

New Jersey Division of Addiction Services GrantCASA was awarded a four-year grant from the State of New Jersey to evaluate a groundbreaking set of programs to improve treatment access and recovery among disenfranchised, mostly opiate-dependent individuals who are not currently accessing treatment services. The New Jersey Division of Addiction Services is funding mobile medication vans that provide on-the-street outreach to engage addicted individuals in treatment and supportive housing.Funded by the New Jersey Division of Addiction Services.

New York State Health Foundation GrantThe New York State Health Foundation is funding a two-and-a-half-year partnership between CASA and OASAS to develop effective strategies to implement screening and referral to treatment within medical care settings for the poor in New York state. CASA will develop and evaluate strategies based on best business practices, as well as science-based models that can be rolled out throughout the state. This project has become an important vehicle for demonstrating some of the strategies for

integrating behavioral healthcare into medical care that are emerging under healthcare reform.Funded by the New York State Health Foundation.

Treating Addiction as a Chronic IllnessCASA was awarded a $500,000 one-year grant from NIDA to continue its research efforts on how to reconfigure the addiction treatment system to best address the chronic nature of substance abuse. Working with OASAS and the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS), CASA’s primary goals will be to identify important areas in the criminal justice reform efforts that require rigorous evaluation, and to identify opportunities to develop

“Working with committed organizations like CASA, we can help our children make the right choices and give families the support and resources they need. …I applaud CASA’s exemplary role in building communities free from the devastation of alcohol and drug abuse. Your compassionate service empowers people and gives them the hope and purpose they need to succeed.”

—President Barack Obama

“I greatly admire the great work you and your organization have done on this important subject. I applaud your efforts.”

promising best practice models that, if proven effective, could be disseminated to other states to become national models of care. CASA will develop a demonstration project and submit a proposal for additional funding to test whether the new program achieves better outcomes than current care.Funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse.

CASASTARTSM (Striving Together to Achieve Rewarding Tomorrows)CASASTARTSM is CASA’s landmark youth development initiative that aims to prevent substance abuse and delinquency, improve grades and reduce violence among high-risk 8- to 13-year-olds, while reducing drug sales and related crime in their neighborhoods.

Since its start in 1992, the neighborhood-based, school-centered program has helped over 10,000 children and families. The program has been implemented in 232 sites in 77 cities and counties, 29 states, the District of Columbia, and two Native American tribal reservations.

Today there are 132 CASASTARTSM sites in 57 cities and counties in 19 states, and in 2010 the program added 20 new sites.

CASASTARTSM has been named a model program by the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and The National Dropout Prevention Center; and as an Exemplary Safe, Disciplined and Drug-Free Schools Program by the U.S. Department of Education.Funded by the City of Philadelphia, PA; University of Colorado Blueprints Project, Boulder, CO; YMCA of McKeesport, McKeesport, PA; Neighborhood House, Portland, OR; Massachusetts Department of Youth Services; Island County Readiness to Learn, WA; Verizon Foundation; Kanabec County Public Health, Mora, MN; Department of Youth and Family Services, Haverstraw, NY; El Centro Del Pueblo, Los Angeles, CA; Carson Valley Children’s Aid, Flourtown, PA; Mi Casa Resource Center, Denver, CO; Episcopal Social Services of New York, Bronx, NY; The Guidance Center, Southgate, MI; Drug Abuse Treatment Association, Mangonia Park, FL; Human Development Corporation, St. Louis, MO.

WHAT IS FAMILY?

Fact: Every American child will be offered alcohol, cigarettes, addictive prescription pills, marijuana, other illegal drugs, or a number of these substances before he or she graduates from high school. Many will get such offers while in middle school. And most will get such offers on numerous occasions. So what is a child’s best chance of growing up drug free? Family.

Each of us has an immediate family that we are tied to, but it is important to remember that we are also part of many other types of families, and family is one of the keys to raising healthy, drug-free children.

Parents may provide structure and positive encouragement for their children, and raising

children may be first and foremost a mom-and-pop operation, but it also requires the engagement of our larger “societal” families.

We are members of many community families, composed of groups like Little League, soccer clubs, Cub Scouts and Girl Scouts.

We are members of religious families, composed of fellow congregants at our churches, synagogues or mosques.

We are members of school families, made up of all of the children and parents in our children’s schools.

And families have a responsibility to care for one another. If your child came to you and told you that one of his or her close friends was smoking, drinking or using another drug, what would you do? Although it might be difficult, if you regard yourself as a member of a societal family, your job would be to pick up the phone and tell that child’s parents what you know. Easier said than done, sure, but you probably wouldn’t have thought twice about it, if it were your niece or nephew. You would pick up the phone and talk to your sister or brother.

So in this day and age, what’s a parent to do?

Since the release of his 12th book, How to Raise a Drug-Free Kid: The Straight Dope for Parents, CASA Founder and Chairman Joseph A. Califano, Jr. has traveled around the country, meeting parents from all kinds of families, and sharing his wealth of knowledge on substance abuse and addiction in a talk aimed at getting parents engaged in their children’s lives.

A key piece of advice: get to know your children’s friends and their parents, foster those family ties, and make sure that everyone is sending and receiving the same messages about not using drugs or alcohol.

11

“All of us know that substance abuse has a devastating impact on American society. It tears families apart, weakens communities and takes a heavy toll on our economy. Fortunately, there are leaders and organizations like CASA that make heroic efforts to put an end to substance abuse.”

— Amanda S. Engstrom, chief of staff of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce

“It is our pleasure to support CASA’s commitment to funding research to develop and pilot effective treatment programs to combat substance abuse and addiction.”

—Bloomberg L.P.

“We need a revolution in the means we use to address the drug problem, and your formula provides the correct blueprint for action. Once again, you demonstrate why you are America’s foremost spokesperson for the effort to counter drug use in our nation.”

—Former Congressman Jim Ramstad (MN-3)

“The exceptional work of CASA in addressing the economic and social costs of substance abuse and addiction in our society deserves commendation. Always know that you can count on my strong support.”

—Congressman Charles B. Rangel, D-N.Y.

“I appreciate your dedicated efforts as we work to reduce substance abuse and provide all young people and parents with the knowledge they need to lead healthy, happy lives.”

—New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg

Parents and families can trump peer pressure by being engaged in children’s lives. Talking to a child about smoking, drinking and using other drugs is what’s most likely to make a difference in whether that child experiments with substances. Start talking to children when they’re young. It’s important to build a bond early on, so that when it comes time to have the tough conversations, children will listen.

Children who learn about the risks of drugs from their parents are much more likely never to try them. Parents are the messenger that children are likeliest to listen to. Of course, there are no silver bullets, and there is no such thing as perfect parenting. But parents have greater power than anyone else to reduce or eliminate those risks for their children.

Fostering strong family ties across all of our many families will give our children the greatest chance to grow up healthy and drug free.

GETTING THE WORD OUT

“ CASA performs an important service for the American public in researching and revealing many of the areas that need attention in our fight against drug abuse. The Drug Enforcement Administration is proud to stand beside you in these efforts.”

— Karen P. Tandy, former Administrator, U.S. Department of Justice’s Drug Enforcement Administration

“ Your efforts and those of CASA in providing frequent updates on the important issue of women and substance abuse should be applauded for their effectiveness in raising the public’s awareness of critical health issues.”

— Ting-Kai Li, MD, Former Director of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism

“ Continued success, as the battle rages on. I applaud you as the bright shining star on the landscape of the addictions field.”

— Neil Scott, Producer/Host of RECOVERY— Coast to Coast

From the nation’s healthcare debate, to marijuana legalization legislation, to parenting tips on raising drug-free kids, to the cost of failing to treat prisoners for substance abuse, to prescription pill abuse, CASA experts have been called upon by the nation’s media to bring an informed voice to America’s discussion of addiction.

CASA has always placed a high priority on media coverage, as it helps assure that our findings reach the American people and secure a safer future for our nation’s children.

This year saw CASA Founder and Chairman Joseph A. Califano, Jr.’s first appearance on Comedy Central’s The Colbert Report, with a lighthearted but important debate on marijuana legalization, specifically California’s Proposition 19.

Both Califano and CASA President William H. Foster began blogging on The Huffington Post about substance use and addiction and how they affect a wide array of current newsworthy topics and trends like marijuana legalization, tobacco, and the culture of celebrities and substance use.

CASA experts and our research findings appeared in publications such as The New York Times and The Washington Post, and the Associated Press cited CASA’s Behind Bars II: Substance Abuse and America’s Prison Population report in its look at budget woes in American prisons. CASA’s work was also highlighted in more than 2,600 TV, radio, print and web news stories, and was featured in national news programs on C-SPAN, CNN, CBS News and FOX News.

Perhaps no individual embodies the field of addiction policy more than Joseph A. Califano, Jr. From anti-smoking efforts in 1978 to today’s national movement promoting parental engagement as a key to keeping America’s children drug free, his name is synonymous with evidence-based, practical and passionate approaches to addressing the issue of substance abuse and the disease of addiction.

In less than one year, under the stewardship of Board Member Joseph J. Plumeri, CASA has raised $7 million toward its $10 million financial goal to underwrite The Joseph A. Califano, Jr. Institute for Applied Policy at The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University.

CASA’s Califano Institute will enhance awareness among the general public and policymakers of the facts and costs of substance abuse and addiction, and catalyze the design and implementation of policies and programs for prevention and treatment of this disease as a medical condition. Its efforts will aim to embed a fuller understanding of addiction into policy systems and practical programs at the national, state and local levels, with a particular focus on our nation’s healthcare professionals.

Of CASA’s three pillars—policy analysis, treatment and prevention research, and program development—CASA’s policy work and its practical implementation will have the most powerful impact in changing the future, not only for individuals afflicted by addictive

disorders, but for an entire society for generations to come. By establishing the Institute to support this work, those who share Joseph Califano’s abiding commitment to improving public health through public policy now have a vehicle by which to ensure CASA’s ability to carry forward this key aspect of Secretary Califano’s life’s work.

THE CALIFANO INSTITUTE 13

“ The time has come for physicians and public health professionals to say to the American people, ‘Addiction to tobacco, alcohol, and illegal and prescription drugs is a disease and we are going to accord it the same medical attention we accord other chronic diseases.’”

—Joseph A. Califano, Jr.

FAMILY DAY

“Simple daily activities such as sharing a meal, a conversation or a book can have an enormous impact on the life of a child. Strong and engaged families help build a strong America, and it is our responsibility as concerned family members to discuss the dangers of substance abuse. On this Family Day, let us recommit to creating a solid foundation for the future health and happiness of all our nation’s children.”

—President Barack Obama

For more than a decade, Family Day—A Day to Eat Dinner with Your ChildrenTM has encouraged parents across America to take back their seats at the dinner table. Through the years, Family Day has grown from a grassroots initiative into a national celebration supported by PTAs, YMCAs, faith-based groups, substance abuse prevention coalitions, government officials, corporate sponsors and, most importantly, families! At the heart of Family Day is the message: Parents, dinner really does make a difference in your children’s lives!

In fact, almost two decades of CASA’s research has consistently found that the more often kids eat dinner with their families, the less likely they are to smoke, drink or use drugs.

The dinner, held March 23 at The Pierre hotel in New York City, was emceed by CBS’s Julie Chen, and honored two American politicians, a corporation and a law firm that have all tirelessly worked to help remove the stigma associated with this disease, educate others and improve the quality of life for all American families.

The event honored Democratic Rhode Island Congressman Patrick J. Kennedy and Jim Ramstad, former Republican Congressman from Minnesota, with CASA’s second Inspiration Award in recognition of their work in Congress to enact parity legislation ensuring that appropriate and adequate medical treatment is provided for Americans suffering from substance abuse and addiction.

CASA’s Distinguished Service Award was presented to Robert Leonidas, president and CEO of Nestlé Prepared Foods Company, in recognition of Nestlé’s outstanding civic leadership and vital partnership in CASA’s work to help children and families. For the past two years, Nestle’s Stouffer’s division has been a steadfast supporter as the Title Sponsor of CASA’s Family Day—A Day to Eat Dinner with Your ChildrenTM initiative.

Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP, the prominent Manhattan-based global law firm, was honored with the CASA Special Achievement Award in recognition of its longstanding support through pro bono legal services and its commitment to CASA and its missions over the past 20 years.
