ABOUT CASA AND ACCEA
A child with a CASA volunteer is:
• Twice as likely to be adopted, than to linger in long-term foster care
• Half as likely to re-enter the foster care system
• More likely to have a plan for finding a permanent home, especially children of color
• More likely to do better in school
CASA of Atlantic and Cape May Counties has promised to match a volunteer with every waiting
child by 2017. To do that, they need your help. Your support and participation in the Kids Fit Final
Mile sponsored by Atlantic County Council of Education Associations can change a child’s life.
