Welcome to my CASA Kid Walk page. This is my second year on a Kid Walk team and I am so honored to be part of an organization that does such incredible work.  I became a CASA last year in August and got a case in October.  I love my CASA kid and think that the work CASA does is so important.   It really makes a difference to these kids.  And this year I think my husband Dennis might walk too!

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. I'm proud to co-sponsor the Fortuna Community Team with Peter Krueger of Precision Intermedia.  Our goal is to raise $1,000 dollars--or more!

CASA stands for Court Appointed Special Advocates. They 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 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 3 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.

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

Love and a huge thank you!
