Welcome to our CASA Kid Walk page.  We are members of the Fortuna Chamber of Commerce and community.  Two years ago Sherry Hazelton became a CASA and co-fundraised with Peter Krueger of Precision Intermedia where they walked with his son and her CASA kid.  Then this year, with Sherry President of the Chamber,

it kind of grew to include more members of Fortuna Chamber of Commerce and others in our generous community.

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 11th.  Our goal is to raise $1,000 dollars--or more!

CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) recruits, trains, and supports 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 gets 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. Make it possible for others to become CASAs.  Only 2 in 4 children who need a CASA get a CASA. Help expand the training schedule, grow the advocate support system, and increase the 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 "Fortuna Chamber of Commerce" in the memo to:
CASA of Humboldt
2356 Myrtle Ave.
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!
