It's Time to Head Back-to-School |
|
|
|
Back-to-school is a time for children and youth to be excited about seeing their friends, teachers and staff, and to return to extra-curricular activities.
The start of a new school year can be hectic for all families, but it is especially challenging for children living in foster care.
Children who have been removed from their homes, or are changing foster homes, may be entering a new school this year with higher levels of stress and uncertainty.
|
|
Research has shown that for children living in foster care, multiple school changes can impact academic performance. The stress of a new school setting can be very overwhelming for CASA children.
CASA volunteers visit regularly with children, listen to their concerns and provide encouragement about the new school year. As a CASA child returns to the classroom, having a caring adult consistently by their side is critically important. We are grateful for our CASA volunteers all year for the difference they make, and especially as we begin another school year.

Thank You!
Classic for Kids Golf Outing
|
|
On Monday, August 22, we were delighted to spend a beautiful day on the links at the Brown County Golf Course with 136 golfers at our Classic for Kids Golf Outing!
Due to the tremendous generosity of our sponsors, in-kind donors and golfers, we raised over $43,000, which provides 23 CASA volunteers for children who are under court protection due to abuse and/or neglect in our community.
We extend our sincerest gratitude to everyone who made this outing a success, and who make our mission possible every single day. Thank you to all our generous sponsors, golfers, in-kind donors, Leadership Committee, and event volunteers for making our outing a day to remember!
Professional photos of the event are coming soon, but here is a sneak peek from our wonderful day FORE the kids!

They support emergency relief efforts, schools, animal shelters, and local human services organizations like CASA of Brown County.

We are grateful for organizations like De Pere Christian Outreach for their support of our lifechanging mission while having an inspiring one of their own. Over the past six years, their generous support of CASA of Brown County has provided 37 children per year with a CASA volunteer.
We are in awe of their devotion to a wide variety of organizations and people in need, including our CASA kids and youth.

Coffee for a Great Cause! |
|
|
|
The reviews are in: coffee tastes even better when it is for a great cause! Thank you to everyone who has already supported CASA of Brown County by simply remaining caffeinated with delicious Luna coffee!
Downtown Auto Service is still selling 12 ounce bags of Luna Medium Roast Coffee Blend for $12, and CASA of Brown County receives $5 from every bag purchased.
So far, we have sold 18 bags, and raised $90 for CASA, not including coffee sold at Downtown Auto Service.

Coffee is only available through September, so donβt miss out on an βespresso-lyβ great opportunity. Please contact Kathy at kathy@casabc.org to arrange pick-up at the CASA office, or stop at Downtown Auto Serviceβs front desk. You warm our CASA kids' hearts!
