Before coming to CASA of the Fox Cities, I worked with volunteers for over a decade. Never in that time did I encounter a volunteer role as complex as that of a CASA. Today, I'm still in awe of all you do. Here are a few of the things I've learned.

Every case is different and every advocate's experience will be different.

And, in every case there lies an awesome potential.

Your consistent presence signals the inherent worth of the people we serve. That you carry on means that these young people and their families are worthy of your time.

They might not express it now, and perhaps they never will. But we know that having someone show a genuine interest in us makes a difference.

So, I hope you'll hear it from us. Thank you.

In our appreciation period of 4/1/23 - 3/31/24, you identified the following needs:

For a total of 2,243 identified needs!

Based on your case note entries, in the calendar year 2023, you:

Went on 1,575 visits

Provided nearly 2,300 hours of advocacy

Had nearly 3,200 contacts

Traveled 24,000 miles for your kiddos

This is impressive! And, I'd be willing to bet the numbers are actually much higher. When all advocates enter timely and thorough information into CasaConnect, we can better paint the picture of your impact.

National Volunteer Week is April 21-27. Click the image below to flip through some notable recognition and feel the appreciation we have for each and every one of you.

We surpassed our fundraising goal and had a great time doing it! Thanks to everyone who supported our first benefit concert on April 11th.
