The St. Louis Cardinals baseball team honored the National CASA/GAL network on Monday, June 12, in recognition of the organization’s mission and work. The National CASA/GAL Board of Trustees was featured on the park’s jumbotron along with the team mascot, and Board Chair Jim Rishwain threw out the ceremonial first pitch of the game (a strike!). More than 400 attendees of the 2023 Annual Conference attended the game following the Walk Run Thrive event held during the conference.
Starting earlier this year, CASA of Somerset, Hunterdon and Warren Counties (NJ) has been highlighting various issues within the world of foster care through its podcast, CASA Connection. Join the program’s staff, volunteers and former foster youth every two weeks through Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Podbean or iHeart for topical discussions about issues that directly impact the child welfare system and best-interest advocacy.
