Douglas County CASA wants our local families to thrive, and part of our focus on doing that is making sure the voice of each child under the court’s protection is heard. We deeply appreciate the our Champion Sponsors for partnering with us.

With 68 children currently on our waiting list, we are grateful for every opportunity we get to tell people about the work we do. Thank you to our Guardian Sponsors for helping us continue our work of making CASA a well-known child welfare resource.
#WindsAcrossThePrairie #CASACommunity
Winds Across the Prairie supports our overall fundraising goals by providing nearly a quarter of our annual income – we know each Advocate Sponsor values the work of CASA to provide safe, caring adults for children who have experienced abuse or neglect.
