Event summary
The CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) program plays a vital role in ensuring every child has the right to a safe and permanent home. By participating in this event, you'll not only enjoy a fun-filled day of running but also contribute to the essential work of CASA volunteers, who advocate for the best interests of children in the legal system. With an entry fee of just $35 until September 4th and $45 from September 5th to race day, plus a special kids' rate of $10 for those 12 and under, it's an opportunity you won't want to miss. Join us in Leavenworth for a day of community, support, and superhero spirit!
Organiser's Description
The CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) concept is based on the belief that every child has the right to a safe, permanent home. Unlike attorneys and social workers, the CASA volunteer speaks exclusively for the child's best interests. By handling only one or two cases at a time (compared to a social agency caseworker's average load of 60 90), the CASA volunteer has the time to explore each assigned case's history thoroughly. The volunteer talks with the child, parents, family members, neighbors, school officials, doctors, and others involved in the child's life that may have facts about the case. The volunteer then also reviews all records and documents about the child. They then submit a formal report to the court-recommending placement: should the child stay with their parents, be placed in foster care, or be freed for permanent adoption? If the court leaves the child in temporary care, the CASA volunteer provides continuity by staying on the case until it is resolved and placed in a safe, permanent home.
