Put on your favorite running or walking shoes and Speak Up For Kids during this annual Texas CASA 5K Series.

The date for the Lone Star CASA – Speak Up For Kids CASA 5K is Saturday, November 5, 2011, at the Wilkerson-Sanders Stadium. One of the central goals is to produce a first-class race offering on-line registration and chrono-chip timing through RUNON Texas, a professional race company who will manage the race.

The 2011 CASA 5K Run/Walk will include a special Kids Fun Run and family-friendly wrap around activities such as Blue Cross and Blue Shield Blue Bear and mobile unit, informational booths on CASA and child abuse, fitness and health, WIC, foster care, police, kids face painting, clowns, bounce house, EMS, local vendors, and many more.

Proceeds from this 5K event benefit Lone Star CASA in our efforts to recruit and train CASA volunteers to give a “voice” to abused and neglected children in court and the foster care system.

Your participation makes a difference! So, walk, run, or jog on Saturday, November 5, 2011, and give a voice to our local child victims of neglect and abuse.

What is CASA?

admin — Sat, 07 Feb 2009 05:24:19 +0000

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.
