Speak Up For Kids CASA 5k

Saturday, November 6, 2010 in Rockwall, TX at Wilkerson-Sanders Stadium

Make a difference in a child’s life!  Walk, run, or jog in this 5K event and give a voice to Texas children.

Every year more than half a million abused and neglected children are in need of safe, permanent, nurturing homes. That’s where CASA steps in. CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) was created in 1977 to make sure the abuse and neglect these children originally suffered at home doesn’t continue as abuse and neglect at the hands of the system.

As trained advocates, CASA volunteers are appointed by judges to be a voice for these children in court. The result is that a child is placed into a safe, loving home where he/she can thrive.

It is the CASA vision to provide a volunteer for each and every abused and neglected child who needs one.

The Big Voices for Little Texans license plate graphic is now online at the Texas Department of Transportation website. In addition, the online application is updated and displays “CASA – Court Appointed Special Advocate.” See the revised information online now.
