Thanks to the community, Court Appointed Special Advocates will deliver bikes to the children they support this Christmas. CASAs are a group of volunteers who are appointed by a judge to represent the best interests of neglected and abused children when their cases go before a court.
In order to represent a child's best interests CASAs must spend time with the child and other individuals involved in their lives. Ultimately a trusting bond is formed between the child and the CASA.
Through donations made by the community, children will receive bikes delivered by their CASA volunteers this Christmas.
