Throughout the month of April, CASA of Essex will lead a series of initiatives to shine a light on the critical issue of child abuse and the vital role that advocacy provided by CASA volunteers plays in the lives of foster children. These efforts include community workshops, educational outreach, and fundraising drives, all designed to mobilize support for children who need it most.
“The ‘Pinwheels of Possibilities’ event is more than just a celebration; it’s a call to action,” said Marla Higginbotham, Executive Director of CASA of Essex. “Child Abuse Awareness Month is a crucial time for us to come together as a community to reaffirm our commitment to protect and advocate for the most vulnerable among us. With the support of our community, we can provide a strong voice and a brighter future for every child in foster care.”
All proceeds from the event and the month-long campaign will directly support CASA of Essex’s ongoing efforts to train and support volunteer advocates who work tirelessly to ensure that children in foster care have the care, support, and opportunities they need to thrive.
CASA of Essex County is a non-profit organization dedicated to advocating for the best interests of children in foster care.
