We’re proud to honor Steve Cameron and Dave Sphar, recipients of this year’s John DeBlassio CASA Champion Awards at Walk for a Child.

💙 Steve Cameron is being recognized for the compassionate, steady presence he brings to youth in foster care, showing up again and again as an advocate, mentor, and trusted support during some of life’s hardest moments. His impact is deeply personal and life-changing.

❤️ Dave Sphar is being honored for more than two decades of heartfelt leadership and unwavering commitment to CASA for Kids. Through his service and belief in this mission, he has helped create brighter futures for countless children.

Both Steve and Dave embody what it means to be champions for children. Their generosity, heart, and dedication have made a profound difference, and we are so grateful to celebrate them. Please join us in congratulating these extraordinary honorees.

⭐ We’re excited to share the success of the 4th Annual 2026 Walk for a Child!

With grateful hearts, we thank our sponsors, donors, attendees, volunteers, advocates, and community supporters who showed up and showed out to help build brighter futures for children living in foster care. Your generosity, encouragement, and commitment made this year’s Walk for a Child a true celebration of hope.

We were thrilled to have 280 registered walkers, many joining us even in the rain. And somehow, the rain felt fitting.

The children we advocate for face “rainy days” all the time, circumstances beyond their control, and impossible choices. A CASA volunteer walks alongside them, offering an umbrella, hope, and a consistent presence through it all — not because they’re paid to, but because they care.

Because of this incredible community, we met the $10,000 matching challenge in the 24 hours surrounding the Walk, unlocking an additional $20,000 gift. Together, Walk for a Child raised approximately $75,000 in net proceeds.

❤️ That means 37 more children in our community can have the consistent support of a Court Appointed Special Advocate for an entire year.

Every sponsorship, donation, shared post, volunteer hour, and step taken made a difference. This is what happens when a community walks for children.

Despite the rain (again!), our 2026 Walk for a Child was a beautiful reminder of what this community can do together.

We are deeply grateful to our sponsors, donors, attendees, volunteers, advocates, and community supporters who showed up, walked with purpose, and helped build brighter futures for children living in foster care.

Your generosity, encouragement, and commitment made this year’s Walk for a Child a true celebration of hope.

❤️ A special thank you to our incredible sponsors for helping make this event such a success. Your support helps ensure children who have experienced abuse and neglect have a dedicated advocate by their side.

We can’t wait to share more tomorrow about what we achieved together — but today, please join us in thanking these amazing sponsors for making this impact possible.

When our community walks, children are supported. And because of you, hope walks with them.

We said your impact was about to go TWICE as far—and now it’s here. ⭐

An anonymous donor will donate $20,000 if we raise $10,000 starting today at noon through noon tomorrow, April 25th (WALK DAY!).

Every registration, donation, and raffle ticket between now and tomorrow at noon will help us reach this goal and open up an additional $20,000 to ensure more children have a CASA volunteer.

This is your moment to make an even greater impact for children who need a consistent, caring advocate.

There is still time to be part of Walk for a Child.

Every child deserves to grow up feeling safe, supported, and seen.

Yet, 1 in 7 children in the United States experienced abuse or neglect in the past year.

Behind every statistic is a child who needs someone to step in, speak up, and stand beside them.

That’s the role of CASA volunteers — and it’s the heart behind Walk for a Child.

As we get closer to April 25th, this is your reminder that small actions can create real change. Showing up, walking, or supporting the cause helps ensure more children have a consistent, caring advocate in their corner.

Be part of the change. Join us for Walk for a Child.
