Casey gives the following message to our CASA volunteers, “Your amazing dedication and support of CASA is the only reason this mission advances!”
Why are you involved with CASA? “Every child deserves a chance - CASA is a beautiful organization that takes on the toughest cases and provides that constant support that those children need. They need their own voice and CASA provides that!”
What first caused you to get involved with CASA? “I recently moved to Tarrant County and wanted to get involved in the community and the CASA mission speaks to my heart. Being a mother myself I want to do everything I can to help children in need.”
What keeps you coming back every month in helping CASA? “I feel like by joining the board of directors - I have the ability to help CASA on a strategic front to meet our goal of serving all kids in Tarrant County!”
What would you say to a potential supporter? “We are not done until every child is served by CASA - every donation - every hour you volunteer matters. Please consider supporting your local community and CASA!”
Why do you think it’s important for your local community to support CASA and what they do? “Local support is very important - the kids and families served by CASA are local and having the support of your neighbors and community leaders is so important to the foundation of Tarrant County.”
