This year, we anticipate nearly 500 attendees who will be treated to an inspirational keynote speaker, Jimmy Wayne. Jimmy is a musician who was in and out of foster homes and homeless starting at age 13, but through the kindness of strangers, was given a home at age 16 and able to finish school and start a music career. He recently became a National CASA spokesperson and is excited to come to Denver to speak at our annual Light of Hope Breakfast.

Volunteer Spotlight

Genie Narkon feels that being a CASA volunteer is by far the most rewarding act of volunteerism she’s ever experienced. ► Meet Genie and other CASA Volunteers.

Last year, over 1,100 Denver County abused or neglected children entered foster care. Many become trapped in the court and child welfare maze, because, as children, they couldn't advocate for themselves.

CASA’s child advocate volunteers serve as their voices, linking them with the services and support they need. Court appointed special advocates volunteer a few days each month and change their lives forever.

Volunteering your time, providing financial support, or lending other skills makes a big difference to foster kids. Just ask the more than 3,000 children served by CASA.

Last year, our foster child advocate volunteers helped over 30% of children in the Denver foster care system - they dedicated and contributed over 10,000 hours of service valued at $515,250.
Children and parents supported by a court appointed child advocate receive more services.
Children with a court appointed child advocate prove more likely to find their forever homes.
