MESA COUNTY, Colo. (KKCO) - A local service club is holding a tasty fundraiser for a group that helps abused and neglected children in Mesa County.

Thursday night at Bookcliff Country Club, the Horizon Sunrise Rotary Club will host A La Mode, a pastry and dessert competition for CASA.

Chefs will compete for prizes in three categories. They are 'Best Dessert,' 'Best Presentation' and 'People's Choice.'

There will also be a silent auction and drawing for door prizes and live music.

The event is Thursday night and starts at 7:30 pm. Tickets are available at the door.

Last year the fundraiser made around $9,000 for CASA.

CASA stands for Court Appointed Special Advocates. It is a non–profit that represents the voiced of abused and neglected children in our court system.
