ONU Kappa Alpha Theta members raise funds for CASA
ONU Kappa Alpha Theta members are encouraging university students to attend a nacho/quesadilla meal Wednesday to raise funds for CASA, the sorority’s national philanthropy.
CASA stands for Court Appointed Special Advocates, a national organization of volunteers that judges appoint to speak for the safety and well being of abused and neglected children.
Children with a CASA volunteer are half as likely to spend time in long-term foster care, defined as more than 3 years in care.
CASA advocacy saves taxpayer dollars. If the median length of stay were shorted for children in foster care by just one month, it would realize a national savings to taxpayers of approximately $2.75 billion.
Each fraternity and sorority on campus supports a national philanthropy.
