Child Advocacy Services SEGA, Inc. (CASSEGA) is excited to announce the 12th Annual CASA Superhero Run, scheduled for October 26, 2024, at the Guyton Civic Center in Guyton, GA. This fun-filled community event aims to raise awareness and funds to support CASA Ogeechee, a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to ensuring that foster children have a voice in the court system.
CASA Ogeechee has been a pillar in the community since 2002, recruiting and training citizen volunteers to advocate for the best interests of children within the Ogeechee Judicial Circuit, which includes Bulloch, Screven, Jenkins, and Effingham counties. Last year, CASA volunteers dedicated over 1,300 hours, made 170 home visits, and drove more than 15,000 miles to support 89 children.
The Superhero Run invites participants of all ages to wear their favorite superhero costumes and join the race to make a difference in the lives of foster children. Various sponsorship levels are available, allowing local businesses and individuals to support a cause that directly benefits the community’s most vulnerable children. Sponsorship benefits include visibility through social media, newsletters, and event day promotions.
