Support CASA

The support of our generous donors enables Champaign County CASA's active volunteers to advocate for over 300 children. In order to continue serving children in our community who need our help, we rely on the support from caring individuals and businesses.

No fees are charged for the services of the Champaign County CASA program, and no other agency provides community volunteers to serve as child advocates in juvenile court proceedings.

It is vital that we increase our resources to support our volunteers and the children we serve. We are asking you to help us continue to support our mission of providing volunteers who advocate for abused and neglected children. We have an excellent reputation with the attorneys and court personnel for making independent recommendations to the court concerning the child's well-being. Please contribute today. It will make the difference in a child's life.

Leave a Legacy

LEAVE A LEGACY is a campaign conducted by the National Committee on Planned Giving to inspire people like you to make charitable bequests. Bequests are just one type of "planned gift" - a gift that will be distributed sometime in the future - to a charity that is meaningful to you. Through LEAVE A LEGACY, people who have made charitable bequests and other types of planned gifts share their experiences in the hope of encouraging others to give. More information on making a charitable bequest is available at the Leave a Legacy website at http://www.leavealegacy.org.

Contact Joan M. Dixon, the Executive Director of the Community Foundation of East Central Illinois, to set up a charitable bequest through the Community Foundation.
