The United Family presents CASA with $10,000 for Casas for CASA
LUBBOCK, Texas — To help CASA of the South Plains achieve its fundraising goal, The United Family hosted CASA at its Market Street on 98th Street and Quaker Avenue and presented them with a check for $10,000 to support raising funds to increase advocacy efforts for Casas for CASA.
Throughout April and May, CASA sold raffle tickets for several custom-built playhouses, a storage building, a trailer, and a $3,500 Mastercard gift card. This year’s raffle drawing, the culmination of our fundraising was made even more special by the involvement of Lubbock ISD, Frenship ISD, and Lubbock-Cooper ISD. These districts’ CTE classes had the opportunity to build a playhouse for the raffle, funded by The United Family.
As a non-profit organization, CASA’s mission is to inspire, educate, and empower solution-minded community members who are committed to supporting the best interests of children in the foster care system. Volunteer advocates create connections and promote nurturing relationships for the child and family, encouraging hope and healing.
“We are honored to celebrate this tremendous accomplishment for the children in foster care in our community,” said Jaclyn Morris, executive director of CASA. “This victory proves that the people of the South Plains prioritize the needs of our most vulnerable children. We would not be here today if it weren’t for the dedication and generosity of The United Family and our amazing supporters. We are overwhelmed at the response to this campaign.”
