One thing we’ve learned?

Life doesn’t stop being life just because a child is involved in the child welfare system.

There are still birthdays.
Ball games.
Field trips.
Lost teeth.
Art projects.
Dreams.

The hard stuff may be part of their story.

But it shouldn’t be the only thing people see. 💙

June is PTSD Awareness Month. 💚

Trauma can leave lasting effects that aren’t always visible. Many children who have experienced abuse, neglect, loss, or instability carry emotional wounds long after the events themselves have passed.

At East Central Indiana CASA, we believe every child deserves a caring, consistent adult who will listen, advocate, and help them feel seen, heard, and supported.

This month, we recognize the importance of understanding trauma, extending compassion, and creating safe environments where healing can begin.

Because healing happens through connection, support, and hope.

💚 Every child deserves someone in their corner.

Last Saturday’s 2nd Annual Jack Lutz Memorial Golf Outing benefiting CASA was a BEAUTIFUL day and we received so much love and support there from our community.
We have many, many “thank you’s” to say.



We are grateful first of all to the Anderson Noon Exchange Club ’s dedicated golf outing committee members and wonderful volunteers, as well as the staff at Grandview Golf Course, who put in so much work to ensure everyone had a wonderful time. Thank you for all that incredible generosity with your time and talents!



We also want to thank the Lutz family and our 18 teams of golfers who tee’d off with us and played so well they kept the competition tight. Congratulations to Team Brossart, our champions who had a very close call to receive first place!



We also want to thank our amazing list of 35 sponsors who made this event possible.

Countryside Family First Senior Living/Rawlins House & Fall Creek Family-First Senior Living from CarDon & Associates (A wonderful partner who had the creative and really humorous idea to feature a real dialysis chair at Hole #7 to allow golfers to try putting from the seat in exchange for an extra donation to CASA!

Through the collaborative support of this amazing community of participants, CASA can grow in its vital mission to advocate for safe and secure placement for the abused and neglected children in Madison County who are waiting for an advocate to speak up for them in court. That is a life-transforming gift that will impact hundreds of young lives!

Thank you ALL for the gift of your treasure, time, golf tees and talents. You are all true champions for children!

💙 One child’s journey can include many chapters.

Court hearings. New schools. Placement changes. Hard transitions. Moments of uncertainty.

For many children, the journey through abuse, neglect, and the court system is not a short one.

But CASA advocates keep showing up.

They stay present through the changes, continue advocating, and walk alongside children every step of the way toward safety, stability, and hope.

By joining the ECI CASA Case Supporter Circle, your monthly gift helps ensure advocacy continues without pause.

Small monthly gifts make a lasting difference. 💙

During a child visit this week, one of our kiddos proudly told his GAL that he had finished his rookie season of baseball. As they talked, he shared that he really wanted to improve his batting skills.

So he handed over a glove and a baseball and asked his GAL to pitch to him.

What started as a conversation turned into time spent practicing, encouraging, laughing, and building confidence.

Now he’s already looking forward to the next visit so he can show off how much he’s improved.

The little moments matter. Sometimes the most meaningful connections happen over a game of catch, a walk through the park, or simply showing up and taking an interest in what matters to a child.

That’s the power of a CASA

As May comes to a close, we want to say this loud and clear:

Thank you, foster families. 💙

Thank you for opening your hearts, your homes, and your lives to children who need safety, stability, patience, and love.

Thank you for showing up on the hard days.
Thank you for celebrating the small wins.
Thank you for helping children feel seen, supported, and not alone.

Foster Care Awareness Month gives us a special opportunity to recognize the important role foster families, kinship caregivers, parents, advocates, caseworkers, and community partners play in the lives of children and families.

But our gratitude does not end when May does.

We recognize you every month.
We appreciate you every day.
You are making a difference.

From all of us at East Central Indiana CASA, thank you for being part of the village children and families need. 💙

Being a CASA volunteer isn’t always what people imagine.

Yes, there are court reports and meetings.

But sometimes it looks more like this:

🧸 A stuffed animal packed “just in case”
🎨 Crayons and coloring books
📝 A notebook full of reminders
☕ Coffee because… well… coffee 🤣
🎲 Little games
💙 And a whole lot of heart

The small things matter.

Because sometimes trust is built over coloring pages.

Sometimes important conversations happen during a card game.

And sometimes simply showing up consistently changes everything.

Advocacy is not always big moments.

Often, it is the little ones. 💙

Our Executive Director, Annette Craycraft, attended Monday night’s Game Night Out with The Journey Fellowship at Victory Field to cheer on the Indianapolis Indians alongside CASA leadership from agencies across Indiana. ⚾️

The evening was filled with fun, fellowship, and meaningful connection with fellow youth-serving leaders who are passionate about making a difference for children and families.

The Journey Fellowship is a leadership program designed to support and strengthen professionals in youth-serving fields by helping build resilience, inspire purpose-driven work, and encourage long-term impact on behalf of young people. We are grateful for opportunities like this that allow leaders to connect, learn, and grow together. 💙

As Mental Health Awareness Month comes to a close, we want to remind our community of something incredibly important:

Mental health matters. 💚

At East Central Indiana CASA, we see firsthand how trauma, abuse, neglect, instability, and loss can impact a child’s emotional well-being long after the crisis itself has passed.

Healing is not always visible.
Progress is not always linear.
And sometimes the most powerful thing a child can have is one safe, consistent adult who continues to show up.

To the foster families, parents, caregivers, teachers, therapists, caseworkers, advocates, and community members helping children carry heavy things… thank you.

Thank you for listening.
Thank you for encouraging.
Thank you for advocating.
Thank you for loving children through difficult seasons.

Mental Health Awareness Month may be ending, but the need for compassion, support, connection, and understanding continues every single day.

Together, we can help children feel safe, valued, heard, and hopeful again. 💚
