CASA Event Rescheduled for October

By Kristina Schnack Kotlus

The Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Greater Prince William “Moms in Motion” event, originally scheduled for Saturday, has been moved to October 15.

Event Coordinator Vicki Shoemaker noted Saturday was a full day for awareness events, and in order to ensure a successful event that benefits everyone involved, she felt a few changes were necessary.

“CASA is a program that matches a child with an advocate who does a home study, a school study, and speaks with the child to report back to the judge as an impartial third party on the best interests of the child”, explained Shoemaker. “We’ve grown tremendously and now have almost 500 children in the CASA program.”

The cost of providing services to each child in CASA is $1,200 per year.

The October 15 event, which has been renamed “All In Motion: AIM to Stop Child Abuse” to be more inclusive of community members who are not mothers, will feature belly dancing, Zumba, and more for a $30 participation fee.

Participants may also use microsites to raise additional funds through sponsorships.

All funds will go directly to CASA to assist children in our local community.  For more information or to register, visit casaofgpw.org.
