⚠️ Due to unsafe field conditions, tonight's Madison Mallards game has been cancelled. The good news? Playhouses for a Purpose is still happening!

We're keeping online ticket sales open until 7:00 p.m. tonight (6/11) and will draw our winners at 7:30 p.m.

Even with the cancelled game, we're incredibly close to reaching our fundraising goal! Every ticket purchased helps support children and families impacted by child abuse and neglect through Canopy Center's programs.

If you've been thinking about buying tickets, now is the time!

And if you've already purchased yours, please consider sharing with friends, family, and coworkers to help us slide into home plate.

Thank you for helping us make a difference for children in our community.

Consent matters. 💜

This Consent Zine is designed to help young people navigate conversations around sexual consent, boundaries, communication, and healthy relationships. Created to spark reflection and dialogue, it offers approachable, age-appropriate guidance on respect, bodily autonomy, and what healthy consent looks like.

Take a look:

This zine was created for a consent event hosted by Monona Grove High School, by Canopy Center's Clinical Director Vincent Saxon and Pre-Licensed Clinican Ali Beyer.

Welcome Clara, who joins us a Case Coordinator! 🎉💙

Clara is no stranger to the CASA team - she previously served as an intern, where she made an impact by leading volunteer support groups and creating resource guides to help advocates build meaningful connections with the children they serve.

We are so excited to have Clara continue this important work in her new role. Her heart for children, dedication to volunteers and enthusiasm for the mission make her a wonderful addition to the team. Clara, we’re so glad you’re here!

Canopy Center serves children and families in our area through programs that focus on child abuse treatment and prevention.

A common misconception about the children we serve through our CASA of Dane & Columbia Counties program is that they all live in Dane or Columbia County.

While their court cases are here, children may be placed outside the county with relatives, foster families, or in treatment programs when there are no local options and it’s the safest or best fit for their needs. Some are placed elsewhere in Wisconsin - and we even serve children living in three other states.

From January to March, our CASA volunteers drove 5,429 miles to ensure every child has a trusted adult in their corner, advocating for their best interests. 💜

For every $1 invested in prevention, $3 can be saved in crisis response.

At Canopy Center, that investment helps children heal, families grow stronger and reduces the risk of secondary victimization through advocacy, support and trauma-informed care.

As Child Abuse Prevention Month comes to a close, your support helps make this work possible - and strengthens prevention efforts in our community.
