CASA of Tarrant County is the Origin Bank Community Hero of the Week! Thank you TCU Athletics for helping us stand up for abused and neglected children in Tarrant County! Watch TCU grad and CASA Board Member Matt Opitz by clicking here.
Check out this article in the Dallas Baptist University Campus News about our incredible advocate Pam Hall, "Today, she serves as a volunteer with Court Appointed Special Advocates, better known as CASA. Instead of reaching out to war-torn countries and the families of the fallen, she now fulfills God's call to heal the brokenhearted children who have fallen victim to abuse and neglect here in the DFW area. She advocates for the children who have been assigned to her in much the same way parents advocate for their own child." https://www.dbu.edu/news/2019/09/dbu-alum-stands-before-presidents-and-princes-as-she-brings-healing-to-the-hurting.html
Guess who? We’ve been spotted in the Northeast Tarrant edition of Living Magazine!
CASA Volunteer Sarah Hopp is Fort Worth Woman's July Woman of the Month!
“Sarah’s excitement for serving and love of children perfectly describes her work in Fort Worth through CASA: compassion. “I thought I knew what compassion was until I became a CASA advocate,” Sarah said, “Some parents were raised the way they treat their children and do not know any better. We should take the time to be thoughtful and educate our community by showing compassion to everyone we deal with daily because I believe, this will make the world a better place.”
CASA of Tarrant County and Tarrant County National Adoption Day are featured in the November issue of Southlake Style Magazine as part of a special article titled "Finding Forever Families" featuring the Akins Family!
CASA Program Director Denee Borchardt states in the article, "Texas children in the foster-care system need more families like the Akins. Tarrant County ranks No. 2 statewide for the highest number of child abuse cases... " and Vickie Akins states, "All kids need hope, a future and a chance. Their lives can be radically transformed just from structure and love... Whether you're loving on a child for five weeks, five months, five years or forever, the impact you can have on that child is eternal."
