About us
The Contemporary A Cappella Society (CASA) is a nonprofit organization that is dedicated to the global cultivation and advancement of the art of a cappella music. CASA was founded in 1991 in San Francisco by Deke Sharon with the objective of uniting vocal music enthusiasts from around the world. The organization is committed to the promotion of unity, the encouragement of innovation, the celebration of excellence, the sharing of knowledge, and the cultivation of connections within the vibrant a cappella community.
CASA provides a diverse selection of programs and resources that are intended to assist both a cappella performers and admirers. Organization of significant events, including the Boston Sings A Cappella Festival (BOSS) and the Los Angeles A Cappella Festival (LAAF), is one of the organization’s main initiatives. These events offer participants the chance to attend workshops, engage in masterclasses, and experience performances by renowned a cappella groups. The global a cappella community has found these festivals to be significant gatherings, as they provide a platform for artistic development and learning.
CASA recognizes excellence in the discipline of a cappella through its awards programs, in addition to its events. The A Cappella Video Awards (AVAs) commemorate creativity and innovation in a cappella videos, while the Contemporary A Cappella Recording Awards (CARAs) honor outstanding achievements in recorded a cappella music. These esteemed awards programs have significantly increased the visibility of a cappella music and have become a symbol of excellence within the community. CASA also offers the a cappella community essential resources, such as directories, concert listings, and online content, to foster engagement, collaboration, and education. Through its diverse programs, initiatives, and resources, CASA remains committed to the development and promotion of contemporary a cappella music, thereby contributing significantly to its global spread.

8.5
Out of 10
We understand that choosing an addiction treatment center can be overwhelming, especially with so many options, promises, and marketing messages. Thatโs why weโve developed a clear, standardized rating system designed to cut through the noise and highlight what truly matters: safety, quality of care, and transparency. Our goal is to give individuals and families the information they need to make confident, informed decisions during a critical time.
In this guide, we explain exactly how we rate treatment centersโfrom accreditation and staff credentials to therapy options, facility environment, and family involvement. Youโll see how we assign scores, award badges, and update listings to ensure accuracy and fairness. Most importantly, our system focuses on elevating centers that prioritize ethical, evidence-based care, not just those with the best marketing. This way, you can trust that the ratings you see reflect meaningful standards that help you find the right fit for lasting recovery.
