Ribbon Cutting - Annual Casas for CASA Fundraiser Kick-Off

Description

Join us for a ribbon cutting for Casas for CASA fundraiser kick-off!
 
CASA of the South Plains is excited to partner with the West Texas Home Builders Association to bring its Casas for CASA raffle fundraiser to the Parade of Homes, June 10-25, in lot 124 on the corner of Avenue U and 102nd Street. Casas for CASA participants can purchase raffle tickets for $5 each or 5 for $20 for the opportunity to win a custom-built playhouse or doghouse donated by members of the WTHBA. Tickets will be sold Monday through Friday from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm and Saturday and Sunday from 1:00 pm to 6:00 pm during the Parade of Homes show. The funds raised during the event will help to recruit, train, and support new CASA volunteers to serve as advocates for abused and neglected foster children. The drawing will be held on Sunday, June 25 at 5 p.m. Attendance is not necessary to win. A CASA, or Court Appointed Special Advocate, helps foster children navigate the child welfare system and ensure their needs are being met while working to help find safe, permanent homes. CASA volunteers work alongside attorneys and social workers. They interview parents, family members, teachers, doctors, foster parents, and other adults who may have information about the child. They then make recommendations to the court about any issues or concerns relating to the child’s educational, medical, or emotional needs, and the most appropriate, permanent placement for that child.
