The AFP Philanthropy Awards are presented to individu- als and groups whose generos- ity has made a significant impact on the lives of the people in our communities. As Dawn Johnston, Board President of the AFP Or- egon & SW Washington Chapter, explained “...the purpose of this special day remains as necessary today as it was in its inception - in fact, perhaps more. The commit- ment to gather in fellowship with one another and show gratitude for one another remains the same; philanthropy after all means the love of humankind, no matter how technology advances, how the profession evolves, or how greatly the world around us ebbs and flows.” Carla Rose, a CASA for over six years, and CASA Pro- gram Manager for Washington County Georgia McGinnis Rob- erts, who has also been a CASA for 16 years, accepted the award on behalf of all CASA volunteers. In 1986 CASA for Chil- dren opened its doors with the goal of training citizen volunteers to advocate for children in the foster care system who have been abused or neglected. In the past 20 years, beginning with an initial graduating class of five CASAs, to a current active roster of over 470 active CASAs, their advo- cacy has helped over 22,000 chil- dren and young adults navigate the child welfare and dependency court system safely, quickly, and effectively. This year our volunteers will devote an estimated 113,280 hours, or the equivalent of $2.3 million of paid time. As CASA plans for the fu- ture of the agency the primary ob- jective continues to be providing more children and young adults with the benefits of a CASA. This year over 470 active CASA vol- unteers will serve nearly 1,100 children in the foster care system with the ultimate goal of quickly and effectively securing a safe and permanent home for these young people. If you are interested in learning more about how to be- come a CASA volunteer, upcom- ing trainings, or future fundrais- ing events, please contact Anne Marie Johnson, Director of De- velopment and Communications at (503) 988-4170 or ajohnson@ casahelpskids.org.
