Our Spring Give Back Partner: CASA
April - June 2023: Nuwave / Fortuity is giving back to our community by supporting CASA.
Court Appointed Special Advocate® (CASA) volunteers are appointed by judges to advocate for children’s best interests. This best-interest advocacy makes a life-changing difference for children and youth who have experienced abuse or neglect, many of whom are in foster care.
The National CASA/GAL Association, together with state and local member programs, supports and promotes court-appointed volunteer advocacy so every child who has experienced abuse or neglect can be safe, have a permanent home, and the opportunity to thrive.
Celebrate CASA with us!
We are hosting an in-person event on April 19th from 5-7pm to celebrate Casa’s incredible work.

The Nuwave Community Wall was born out of owner Erin Oostra’s desire to give back to the community paired with inspiring all members of the community to get creative. It is located on the back left wall of the gallery. This is where people can drop off an 8 1/2 x 11 piece of artwork to go on display. “There are 21 frames that open from the front to accommodate art that will be interchangeable,” she said. “Basically anyone, whether you’re 5 or 95, can drop off artwork.
“The art will then be considered a donation in the care of Nuwave Gallery. We will choose a local art-related nonprofit to donate to along with the Fortuity Tasting Room. Two dollars from each of our limited edition art-focused Fortuity bottle sales, along with a portion of all Nuwave art sales proceeds will be donated to that cause.”
The spring quarter donations will be going to CASA. The National CASA/GAL Association for Children supports and promotes court-appointed volunteer advocacy for children and youth who have experienced abuse or neglect. The monetary and in-kind donations will go toward supporting the program and the children in this period through art and educational supplies.
As an added bonus, there’s a Creative Table placed right in front of the wall if you want to come in and work on any creative project while hanging out at the gallery. There are even art kits available on location to purchase and create with.
So when supporting Nuwave Gallery, you can count on the fact that your purchase will benefit both the local and global community because giving back is one of Nuwave’s core values. Erin Oostra’s mission is to create a space for people to gather and support those who help make our communities better.
