CASA OC Seeks Volunteers & Help To Mentor Neglected Kids In Need

In this podcast...Lisa Foxx talks to the CEO of CASA OC, Regan Dean Phillips & CASA OC Volunteer, former NFL star Corey Lindsley about how their program works to help abused and neglected kids who are in and out of the welfare/foster care system. We also talked about their big fundraiser and how they are looking for folks to make a 2 year commitment to a child in need.  CASA OC is a privately-funded non-profit organization that serves severely abused, neglected and abandoned children through the recruitment, training, and continued support of volunteers–CASAs–who advocate for and mentor these children. From the courtroom to the classroom, CASAs represent the best interests of the children they serve. CASA OC stands for Court Appointed Special Advocates. Their organization provides trained volunteers to advocate for children in the foster care system. These volunteers are appointed by the court to get to know a child, review their case, and make recommendations to the judge to ensure the child's best interests are heard and met. The goal is to provide a consistent and reliable adult presence for the child as they navigate the complex foster care system.  They are looking to drive more people to volunteer AND attend their fundraiser : December 5th, the "Friends of CASA Holiday Luncheon" at Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach, with a fashion presentation by Monique Lhuillier.
