Welcome to our CASA Kid Walk page. This is our FIFTH(!) year on a Kid Walk team and we are so honored to be part of an organization that does such incredible work.  The Kid Walk is an annual event put on by CASA. Teams compete to see who can raise the most money between now and the Kid Walk on October 13th. We are the proud Beta Babes, and our goal is to raise $3,000 dollars - enough to give three children an advocate next year.

CASA stands for Court Appointed Special Advocates. We recruit, rigorously train, and support community volunteers who are advocating for abused and neglected children. When children are removed from their homes by Child Welfare Services due to abuse or neglect, they become part of an overburdened system.  Lawyers, social workers, and foster parents have serveral cases and kids competing for their time and attention.  A CASA get to focus on just one child. 

If you don't have the time to be a CASA, the second best thing you can do is donate (or join the board with Marge)! Make it possible for others to become CASAs. Only 2 in 4 children who need a CASA get a CASA. Help us expand our training schedule, grow our support system, and increase volunteer advocate pool.  Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. No bake sales, no candle orders, no raffle tickets. It is the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts.

If you don't feel comfortable donating online, you can send a check (with "Beta Babes" in the memo) to:

2356 Myrtle Avenue - Eureka, CA 95501

Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!

Sincerely,

Marge Custis - Team Captain & the Beta Babes
