CASA Berks Honors Mark Rozzi with Champion of Light Award
CASA Berks County honored State Representative Mark Rozzi with our Champion of Light award. during our Annual Gala of Light on September 19, 2023. Representative Mark Rozzi was selected for the Champion of Light award for his passionate efforts to pass a constitutional amendment that would give victims of sexual abuse more options to sue their abusers. Mark Rozzi received the award at the CASA of Berks County Annual Gala in late September. As he received the award, Rozzi shared that he was a victim of clergy sex abuse as a teen; the Gala crowd was silent as they listened to Rozzi speak about the rights of child sexual abuse victims. Many attendees commented on how moved they were by his inspiring speech. Mark Rozzi gifted the Gala with an oil painting of a red heart climbing out of darkness. Rozzi told the crowd that the painting was a traumatized heart slowly rising to awareness and justice. The painting was sold to businessman David Green. Rozzi told David he was excited that it sold at the Gala art auction as it was the first time anyone had purchased one of his paintings. Please join us in recognizing the importance of advocacy for children and the work of Representative Rozzi to achieve legislation that expands the time frame for child victims to sue their abusers.
