444 children in Central Virginia
were given a voice when
it counted most in 2007. Will you make a difference
for the next child?
When you're a child, every day should be a good day. For CASA children, some days are better than others. But in a safe, permanent, loving home, every day will be better.
Speak up for a child. Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) are volunteers appointed by a judge to speak up for children involved in legal proceedings. CASA volunteers are assigned to children who are victims of abuse or neglect.
Help an abused or neglected child through foster care and the courts. Volunteer as a Court Appointed Special Advocate. Training begins soon.
- 122 Volunteers advocated for 444 children in 2007.
- Since 1994 2,348 abused and neglected children in Central Virginia have been provided a "voice in court" by caring CASA volunteers.
- Recipient of the 2004 Greater Lynchburg Community Trust's 1st Annual Youth Philanthropy Award.
- Recipient of the 2005 Virginia Family & Children's Trust Fund Community Collaboration Award.

Meet Jennifer....
Four-year-old Jennifer came to school with a sling on her arm. She reported to school officials that her stepfather twisted her arm until she heard it crack.
Jennifer's biological father was earlier charged with felony child abuse for pushing her out of a moving car.
