In the state of Georgia there are over 9,000 children in foster care. In our community, there are roughly 250-300 children in care. CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) is a local non-profit, volunteer organization that provides advocacy for these children. Currently our program serves 50% of the children in foster care in Clarke and Oconee Counties. Our goal is to serve 100% of the children and to serve them as soon as they come into foster care  You can help the children of our community.

Move for CASA!

​Athens-Oconee CASA presents... Move for CASA!
From April 14th through May 9th, our organization will be hosting a virtual "Move-Athon" campaign called Move for CASA! With this campaign, our goal is to spread awareness about the needs of foster children and raise funds to continue recruiting, training and supporting CASA volunteers who work to advocate for children experiencing foster care in our community.
Those who choose to Move for CASA will create a participant profile, pledge a dollar amount they would like to raise, and share about our program on their social media or with their community. Each participant will receive a campaign toolkit that gives a step-by-step guide to help them meet their goal and share about our organization! We encourage participants to choose a "move" whether that be running, walking, biking, hiking etc., and use that movement to help build awareness for Athens-Oconee CASA!
If you or anyone in your network would like to participate, we would love to have you join us! You also have the opportunity to create "teams" through our campaign page to raise awareness for Athens-Oconee CASA with those in your network.
