Why CASA? My wife introduced me to CASA through her relationship with the Theta fraternity and her efforts in leading the Fall Breakaway at TCU. I was introduced to their mission and extremely impressed with the dedication of its volunteers and their commitment to helping the most vulnerable members of our society.
What first caused you to get involved with CASA? My law partner asked me to assist in planning committee for the First Annual Pull For Kids clay shoot. I was honored to be asked and ended up learning a ton about the organization as well as be a part of getting a special event off the ground to support a cause I truly believe in.
What would you say to a potential supporter? I would say that there is no more honorable organization you could support. Unfortunately our county’s children do not have the resources to advocate for themselves, and our dedicated volunteers and amazing staff do an incredible job of stewarding your sponsorship to ensure that the children are the ones who truly benefit.
Why do you think it’s important for your local community to support CASA and what they do? The dark reality is that not every child goes home to two loving parents and a stable home. The support from the local community assists in advancing the mission of CASA to assist in advocating for the best interests of the child. As those children’s best interests are met, society as a whole benefits. Additionally, the men and women volunteering as CASA advocates are shining examples of the good that can come from local community support, it is truly an investment in the community for the community.
Do you want to share some encouraging words to our volunteers? I appreciate everything you are doing and your commitment to advocating for children. These are uncertain times, and your dedication and efforts to assist are incredibly inspirational. Thank you.
