CASA CIS

?? March is Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month! ?? This month, we celebrate the strength, resilience, and contributions of individuals with developmental disabilities while also advocating for inclusion, accessibility, and opportunities for all. ???? At CASA CIS, we believe that every child deserves a voice and a future filled with possibilities. Let's work together to build a world where differences are embraced, barriers are broken, and everyone has the support they need to thrive! Join us in raising awareness and promoting inclusion this month and beyond! ?? #DDAM #InclusionMatters #EveryChildDeservesAVoice #StrongerTogether

???? What do Baby Got Back and Piano Man have in common? They both rocked the house at the Boxes of Basics Annual Gala with an epic dueling pianos showdown! ???? We had an absolute blast supporting our friends at Boxes of Basics, who work tirelessly to provide clothing to children in need. The music was wild, the energy was electric, and the generosity in the room was inspiring. ??? Here’s to hoping they met (and exceeded!) their fundraising goals—because every child deserves a wardrobe that makes them feel confident and cared for. #CASAstrong #BoxesOfBasics #DuelingPianos #CommunityLove #PlayUsASong

???? Nothing is sweeter than a first birthday—except maybe a birthday cake made with love for a little one who loves peanut butter! ???? Thanks to one of the amazing volunteer bakers, Krystal, with Cake4Kids, this little one got to celebrate their big day with a beautiful (and delicious!) cake! ???? A huge thank you to Cake4Kids for making birthdays extra special for our CASA kiddos! ?? #SweetSurprise #Cake4Kids #BirthdayMagic #CASALove

?? We’re the luckiest to have such incredible volunteers by our side! ?? Their dedication brings hope, support, and a little magic to the lives of CASA kiddos every day. ??? Wishing you all a shamrockin’ St. Patrick’s Day! ???? #LuckyToHaveYou #CASAVolunteers #StPatricksDay

Happy Pi Day! ??? Just like pi (3.14…), a child’s journey through the system can feel endless—but with a CASA advocate by their side, they don’t have to go it alone. Together, we help bring stability, support, and a sweet slice of hope! Contact us to learn more about becoming an advocate.?? #PiDay #AdvocacyMatters #CASA

?? Huge shoutout to our amazing CASA volunteer, Michael, for his generous donation of toys and essentials for our CASA kiddos! ???? From a cozy bedding set and bath towel to action figures, toy planes, a shaving kit for one of our older youth, and even a telescope to explore the stars—Michael’s kindness knows no bounds! ??? We’ve already earmarked some of these treasures for specific children, and we know they’ll be over the moon with joy. Thank you, Michael, for making a difference! ?? #CASACommunity #VolunteerLove #MakingMagicHappen

A few months ago, we welcomed Ted E. Bear into our office, and from day one, he filled our space with warmth, cuddles, and countless smiles. ???? While it’s hard to say goodbye, our hearts are so full knowing Ted has found his forever home with one of our CASA kiddos! We have no doubt he’ll bring the same love and comfort to his new best friend that he brought to us. Wishing Ted all the bear hugs and happy memories in this next chapter! ???? #ForeverHome #CASALove #BearHugsForDays
