CASA Lane County aims to support children in need

EUGENE —  Over the sounds of silverware meeting plates and eager applause, Sen. Ron Wyden and Rep. Val Hoyle took the stage at CASA Lane County’s Voices for Kids Luncheon on Oct. 16 in front of nearly 300 people. 

The free event aimed to inspire prospective volunteers to get involved with CASA, spotlighting the organization’s commitment to increasing community visibility and funding to support children in need in Lane County.

“Foster kids are 2.5% more likely to end up in prison, and less than 3% of foster children end up graduating from college, so it’s significantly less than any other population,” Hoyle said. “But right here in this room, you all are making a difference in the lives of every single child you touch.” 

CASA Lane County recently launched its “Deepening Our Roots” campaign. Designed to strengthen relationships with service organizations, businesses, and individuals in the community, the campaign aims to establish long-term business partners. 

For participating businesses, this could involve sponsoring events, holding annual CASA presentations with employees, or putting on third-party events with raised funds going to CASA.
