Comfort Cases

Comfort Cases is a nationally recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Rockville, Md. Rob and Reece Scheer established the charity in October 2013 on a mission to inspire communities to bring dignity and hope to youth entering the foster care system by providing them with backpacks filled with personal items such as toothbrushes, pajamas, soap, shampoo, conditioner and a blanket, among other things. To date, the charity has distributed more than 140,000 Cases to children in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. For more information, visit www.comfortcases.org.

This year’s Comfort Cases gala looks and feels a little different but will remain a major fundraiser and awareness campaign for the nonprofit as they continue to provide much needed backpacks filled with personal items to youth in foster care. The 7th Annual Comfort Cases Gala Backyard BBQ will be a family-friendly event taking place on Sunday, October 3, 2021 from 1-5 p.m. at the Tusculum Farm.

The event will feature catered food, beer and wine, outdoor games, a magician, silent auction items, a volunteer awards ceremony, a scholarship announcement and entertainment by The Como Brothers and Sharane Calister, Season 14 of NBC’s The Voice singer and songwriter. Tickets are $125 for adults and $50 for children and tickets are limited. For more information, visit https://www.comfortcases.org/gala or call 301- 605-7813.
