I am a CASA Champion!

I have had the opportunity to serve on the CASA board over the past eight years and witnessed the honorable work they do for children who are in need of an advocate.

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month and I wanted to do something to help vulnerable children in our community. That's why I became a CASA Champion and created a fundraiser to support Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Brown County!

CASA of Brown County recruits, trains, and supports citizen volunteers to advocate for abused and neglected children under court protection until they are safe and thriving in permanent homes.

CASA volunteers build special relationships with children under court protection and advocate exclusively on their behalf in monthly reports to the judge. These reports help the judge make important decisions about each child’s future.

A child with a CASA volunteer is more likely to get help with other services, spend less time in foster care, find a safe, permanent home, and do better in school. Last year alone, 133 CASA volunteers advocated for 232 children in Brown County, making their lives safer and their futures brighter!

With your help, we will reach even more children who need an advocate during an extremely challenging and chaotic time in their lives.

Thank you for joining me and being a CASA Champion!
