CASA of Floyd County - Court Appointed Special Advocates

11/02/2026

WHAT A DAY! 🧡🧡

Color Me CASA 2026 was one for the books! We are still feeling the excitement and gratitude after an incredible morning celebrating our community and showing up for kids!

A HUGE thank-you to everyone who ran, walked, volunteered, sponsored, donated, cheered from the sidelines, and helped bring this event to life. It takes a village, and ours showed up BIG!

To our amazing partner - Dismas Charities - and our sponsors, event committee, volunteers, and participants: we couldn't have done it without you. Every dollar raised and every hour volunteered helps CASA of Floyd County ensure that children in foster care have someone in their corner.

Special thanks to the City of New Albany, Extol Media and Terkhorn Timing for taking us to the next level!

Thank you for making this year's Color Me CASA so special. We are already looking forward to next year!

Until then, let's keep showing up for kids! 🧡

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. 💜

Behind every number is a real person, and often a child watching from the next room. Domestic violence touches every community, every income level, and every age.

If you're in a situation that doesn't feel safe, or you're worried about someone you love, you're not alone. The National Domestic Violence Hotline is free, confidential, and open 24/7:
