CASA of Morris and Sussex Hosts Annual Giving Tuesday Fundraiser

CASA is hosting its 4th annual #GivingTuesday fundraiser in celebration of their milestone volunteer efforts.

Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Morris and Sussex Counties is participating in their annual #GivingTuesday movement, a global day of giving that harnesses the collective power of individuals, communities, and organizations to encourage philanthropy and to celebrate generosity worldwide.

Last year, CASA advocates donated over 15,000 hours of advocacy for children in foster care. They share their time, energy, expertise, and passion with children who are often forgotten. This year, CASA would like to recognize the unrelenting dedication of our volunteers through our annual #GivingTuesday fundraiser.

Occurring this year on December 3rd, Giving Tuesday is a special day to kick-off the holiday-giving-season and to inspire people to give back in impactful ways to the charities and causes they support.

CASA’s 2019 goal is to raise $15,000, a dollar for every CASA volunteer service hour dedicated to changing the lives of our foster children.

Approximately 300 children in Morris and Sussex Counties need your help this holiday season. What many consider a jovial time of family gatherings can be an extremely difficult trigger for children in foster care. This giving season, CASA is asking the community for support to bring vulnerable children better tomorrows and hope for 2020.
