CASA for Kids is collecting donations of items, experiences, services, gift certificates, etc. from area businesses and individuals to include in the live and silent auctions, and to serve as prizes.

The CASA for Kids fundraising event raises approximately 20% of the annual operating budget for CASA in Payne and Logan Counties. Financial support generated by this event has a direct impact on our local community. The money raised will stay within Payne and Logan Counties to aid in the recruitment and support of our growing volunteer base. Every abused child deserves to have a CASA volunteer in their corner.

There are 340 abused and neglected children in the CASA for Kids service area that need a CASA volunteer. CASA volunteer trainings take place five times a year, with the next class beginning August 8. To become a volunteer, or to support CASA financially, please contact Ruth Cavins, Executive Director, at 405-624-2242 or email info@casaforkids.com.
