Thanks to our incredible community, we raised OVER $5,000 for Advocates for Children! 💙

A huge thank you to our event sponsor Centra Credit Union, beverage sponsor Coca-Cola Columbus, Indiana, and The Elks Lodge for generously allowing us to use their space! We also want to thank HotBox Pizza, who is always such a pleasure to work with! Thank you to Levi and Paul Satchwill-Sharp for calling bingo for us for the third year in a row!

We are so grateful to everyone who donated prizes: Sky Sport Fitness, Shepherd Insurance, Centra Credit Union, Helms Auto, Matthew Rothrock, Dr. Anna Carmon, Krisha Eckorate, Elise Yoder, Lydia Happel, Dr. Mary Anne Snyder, Dorothy’s Playhouse, Beth Stroh, and Dr. Nancy Hoover!

Show your support for Advocates for Children with our new shirts! We're excited to offer two unique designs, each with its own style but the same mission: supporting children in our community.
Limited Edition CASA Shirt: Featuring our Advocates for Children branding, this special design is perfect for CASA volunteers, staff, and anyone proud to represent our mission.
Community Edition Shirt: Advocacy is for everyone! This design does not feature our organization's logo, making it a fun, everyday way to spread a positive message while supporting a great cause.
Both shirts are available through separate local shops, and every purchase helps support the important work of Advocates for Children. Pick your favorite or grab one of each!
Two designs. One mission. Endless ways to show your support!

🎉Advocates for Children is incredibly proud to celebrate one of our own!

Congratulations to Larry Perkinson, a valued member of our Board of Directors, on his induction into the Bull Dog Alumni Hall of Fame at Columbus North High School! 🏆💙

Larry has dedicated his career to educating, coaching, and protecting students as a teacher, coach, and school safety expert. Throughout his career, he has worked to bring students and families together with community organizations and law enforcement resources to help improve the lives of young people.

That same heart for children and families is something we are fortunate to have at Advocates for Children. Larry’s leadership, experience, and commitment to serving others make him such a valuable part of our Board of Directors and our mission.

Larry, we are so proud of you and grateful to have you as part of the Advocates for Children family. Congratulations on this very well-deserved honor! 👏💙

Please join us in congratulating Larry!

The induction ceremony is today, September 11, at Columbus North. The reception begins at 5:00 p.m., with the induction ceremony at 5:45 p.m.

Another great turnout for Coffee with CASA! ☕💙

We had a wonderful opportunity to connect with a prospective volunteer, share what it means to be a Court Appointed Special Advocate, and hear meaningful stories and experiences from our current volunteers and staff.

A special thank you to Gramz Bakery and Cafe for welcoming us into your space and providing the perfect atmosphere for conversation, connection, and community. We appreciate your support!

Thank you to everyone who stopped by and helped make the morning so special. Every conversation brings us one step closer to ensuring every child has a voice.

Join us for our next Coffee with CASA on August 12th from 9:00–11:00 AM. We’d love to meet you, answer your questions, and share how you can make a difference in the life of a child. 💙
