Kids for

CASA


For more information about joining Kids for CASA, please email Misty at mwebb@casaoc.org.

Kids for CASA is an auxiliary group for Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Orange County that was first formed at Corona del Mar High School by students Garin Friedman & Zach St. Hilaire in 2016.

Since then, Kids for CASA has grown across Orange County to other schools, as well as an independent group of students in all age groups. Members assist the CASA agency in raising awareness and funds to help fuel CASA’s mission of serving children in the foster care system with a volunteer advocate who will work to ensure that the child is safe, has a permanent home and an opportunity to thrive.

Fundraising History

  • Kids for CASA raised over $30,000 selling holiday ornaments for $100 each. Students were able to do everyday household chores, lemonade stand sales, and more to underwrite all of the costs associated with the purchase of these ornaments.

  • Kids for CASA raised over $26,000 leading the fundraising efforts for the 2019 Pinwheel Project Fundraiser at Fashion Island. Students sold pinwheels in their neighborhoods, outside fire stations and grocery stores, and to their friends and family. During the Pinwheel Project event at Fashion Island on 5/11/19, students helped raise more donations and handed out balloons to other children at the event.

  • Kids for CASA raised over $36,000 leading the fundraising efforts for the 2020 Pinwheel Project Fundraiser at Fashion Island in the Spring of 2020. Due to COVID-19, students shifted their fundraiser into a virtual format and worked on a "Pinwheel Pass Video" that helped propel awareness and donations to new levels.

  • Kids for CASA raised over $36,000 leading the fundraising efforts for a Build-A-Bear Fundraiser in the fall and winter of 2020. Students helped donate 684 bears to our local youth, as well as raise critical funds to help CASA serve even more youth.

  • Kids for CASA raised over $30,000 leading the fundraising efforts for a second Build-A-Bear Fundraiser that coincided with Valentine's Day in 2022. Students donated 757 bears for youth in the child welfare system through their hard work and also raised a huge amount of money through this event.
