Giving Guide

$25 – could provide a special treat for the birthday girl or boy

During 2025, our CASA volunteers gave out over $500 in birthday gift cards to places Walmart, Sonic, Chick-Fil-A, Dairy Queen, and Coldstone Creamery! 

$50 – can help purchase a delicious birthday cake (or the supplies to bake one!) 

This year alone, we’ve celebrated 84 birthdays. You can help make sure that our birthday kids get the cake they love most, be it carrot, ice cream, German chocolate, or strawberry shortcake!

$100 – could go toward that one, extra special birthday gift

Eric’s 16th birthday was right around the corner when he entered foster care, and he told his CASA that he had not celebrated his birthday in over three years. His CASA volunteer was able to make sure he received the Japanese Manga book he wanted among other gifts, making his special day just a little sweeter.

$500 – could help plan a truly EPIC birthday party

Just before Max’s 18th birthday, he told his CASA volunteer that he had NEVER had a birthday party in his life. His team, including his CASA volunteer set out to change that by celebrating him with birthday pies, cake, bowling, and games at FastLanes.

$1000 – can make sure no birthday falls through the cracks

During 2025, 350 kids spent their birthday in foster care and every one of them had a CASA volunteer who helped make their day special. We need your help to make sure we can do the same for every birthday boy and girl in 2026!
