CASA Songwriters on the Edge of Texas Event Returns

Written by Ana Willis. Posted on September 5, 2023 in Talk Tuesday

This September marks the 18th annual Songwriter’s on the Edge of Texas event hosted by CASA for Children and the Texarkana Children’s Advocacy Center. The Edge of Texas committee has hosted performers such as Bob Schneider, Junior Brown, Randy Rogers, and many more at Northridge Country Club year after year until it was put on hiatus in 2020 for the pandemic. This year, we are bringing back the Songwriters on the Edge of Texas event with an acoustic show by Stoney Larue. Join us for a night of music and a day of golf at the Songwriters on the Edge of Texas Concert & Golf Tournament on September 24 & 25, 2023! Tickets may be purchased here.

Northeast Texas CASA provides coordinated services to abused and neglected children through our CASA for Children and Texarkana Children’s Advocacy Center programs. CASA recruits, trains, and supports community volunteers to advocate on behalf of children in the foster care system. 

The Texarkana Children’s Advocacy Center (TCAC) provides a safe, neutral setting for child abuse victims to receive comprehensive services that minimize trauma and promote healing for survivors and their non-offending family members. In 2022, these programs collectively served over 1,300 children across 11 counties in northeast Texas and southwest Arkansas. 

At the concert, Northeast Texas CASA will be raffling off a “Tiny Casa,” or tiny house, to benefit the organization. Thank you to Texarkana College for constructing the tiny house and to our donors: Ledwell, Lafferty’s, Red River Lumber, Phillips Lumber, Stone Studio, Sherwin-Williams, Metal Max, H&K Electric, Carter Adams Flooring, Cook Drywall, and Double Jay Plumbing. All proceeds from ticket sales will go to hope, healing, and justice for child abuse victims in our community. Tickets are $20 each or 6 for $100. The drawing will be broadcast live on Facebook. You do not need to be present to win. The winner will be responsible for taxes on the value of the house. You can buy tickets at casatinyhouse.eventbrite.com
