8K Fitness Walk & Pasta Party Benefits
Richland County CASA
 
Do something good for yourself while
doing something good for others.
 
For the 2003 Governor’s Cup, the Carolina Marathon Association has partnered with Richland County CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) to raise money for its Volunteer Guardian ad Litem program. All net proceeds from the 8K walk and Friday night’s Pasta Party will be donated to Richland County CASA.
 
By participating in either event (or better yet, BOTH events),
you directly support this very worthy cause.

About CASA

Richland County CASA, formerly the Volunteer Guardian ad Litem Project, recruits, trains and supports community volunteers who are appointed by judges to act as Guardians for the purpose of litigation and legal representation. The children served are alleged victims of physical, mental, or sexual abuse, physical or medical neglect, and abandonment, and always have involvement with the Department of Social Services. CASA volunteers are trained advocates who have the specific responsibility of looking after that child's best interest throughout the judicial process, and remain with each child until he or she is placed into a safe, permanent and nurturing home.
 
Part of a statewide program and affiliated with the national parent organization, Richland County CASA has provided assistance for children since the early 1980s and serves approximately 2,000 children each year.
