NO CAPES. NO SUPERPOWERS. JUST BIG HEARTS. ❤️

What does it take to be a superhero?

Sometimes it's simply showing up. Speaking up. Believing in a child when they need someone in their corner.

At CASA Kane County, we see everyday superheroes making extraordinary differences in the lives of children in foster care. And on November 5, we're celebrating THEM!

Join us for our Super Heroes Luncheon, featuring an inspiring keynote from Lynn Price, a former foster youth who turned her own experiences into a mission of helping children find connection, belonging, and hope.

✨ An inspiring afternoon.
✨ Incredible people making a difference.
✨ A powerful reminder that EVERYONE can be a superhero.

Tickets are just $25 and INCLUDE LUNCH!

Come be inspired, celebrate the heroes among us, and discover how YOU can help change a child's story.

Every child deserves to feel the magic of the holidays!

This holiday season, CASA Kane County is hoping to bring joy to more than 1,000 children in foster care and their foster siblings through our Holiday Giving Program!

But we need YOUR help to make it happen! ❤️

Through this special program, CASA Advocates shop for thoughtfully chosen gifts for the children they serve and the siblings in their foster homes. It's about so much more than presents. It's about creating moments of joy and reminding every child that they are seen, valued, and deeply cared for.

Want to help make the holidays brighter?

Together, we can make sure more than 1,000 children experience a little extra holiday magic this year!

💙 WHAT IF CHANGING A CHILD'S LIFE COULD CHANGE YOURS, TOO?

Here's something we hear from CASA volunteers again and again. They signed up hoping to make a difference in a child's life, but somewhere along the way, their own lives changed, too.

And here's what might surprise you.

You don't need a background in social work, law, or child welfare. You don't need endless free time.

CASA volunteers are teachers, business owners, retirees, parents, young professionals, and everyday people who simply want to do something meaningful.

All you need is a willingness to show up for a child who needs someone in their corner.

If you've ever wondered whether YOU could make a difference, this might be your sign!

Join us for our next FREE Virtual General Information Meeting!

Tuesday, October 20
12–1 PM
Virtual via Microsoft Teams

Come learn what it means to be a CASA volunteer, ask questions, and discover how you can help change a child's story.

You might just change your own along the way.
