Join Minnesota CASA on May 4th, 2009 at The Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul for a Forgotten Children event Event Goal: $5,000
Every day, 850 kids enter the foster care system in the US because they cannot live safely at home. That’s enough kids to fill two elementary schools or 425 camp bunks. Enough kids to field 70 soccer teams.
As a CASA volunteer or supporter, you understand the vital role CASA volunteers play in the lives of our nation’s most vulnerable abused and neglected kids. Last year, 60,000 CASA volunteers served 240,000 kids through 954 local programs nationwide. But with 500,000 children living in foster care, there simply aren’t enough CASA volunteers to go around.
By joining the Forgotten Children Campaign, you can help close the gap by raising money to put a trained, committed advocate into the life of a local child who needs a safe, permanent home.
