A RUN FOR A CHILD Update
Greetings!
 
Our Run for a Child is only a few days away and we have some EXCITING news to share!  (i.e. The WEIGH-IN at the Run...read below!)

Are you not a runner or prefer to watch others walk?  That is OKAY!  We have something for YOU!  Check out the OTHER way you can help CASA help kids on Saturday! (i.e. The WEIGH-IN at the Run)
 
We are very excited to see everyone on Saturday!  Come help us make this event EXTRA special for everyone involved! 
 
See you on Saturday!

P.S. Did I mention the WEIGH-IN at the Run?!
 
 

 

The Million Pennies for Kids WEIGH-IN

This competition is open to ANYONE (not just runners/walkers). Bring your spare change (in bags, buckets, or wheelbarrows) and whoever has the most weight in change will win some GREAT prizes! There will be one prize for the 'light-weight' division (kids 12 and under) and one prize for the 'heavy-weight' division (those 13 and older). Rumor has it that there is an Incredible Pizza gift card for the light-weight winner and a couple of different gift cards for the winner of the heavy-weight division!

 

(By the way...Dollars count as well. They will be equal to their weight in pennies!!)

 

Every Child Deserves a Happy Birthday

CASA is proud to partner with Wish I May, an

organization devoted to providing Happy Birthdays to children who otherwise might not be able to celebrate. Wish I May helps many of our CASA kids celebrate their special day!

 

Wish I May will have a table on-site to share about their organization and collect any toys or birthday related items you want to share with a child in need. For more information about their organization visit www.wishimay.org!

 
 

New-York Life Child ID Booth

New York Life will be on-site to provide parents with Free Photo ID badges for every kid. This includes fingerprints and an id bracelet.

 

Get Stretched

Fred Engel, from Positive Touch Wellness, will be on-site to provide quick stretch-massages to help runners and walkers stretch out! Thank you Fred for your willingness to help our participants!

 

Thank you for your support of CASA of Southwest Missouri and the children who we serve.
 
Sincerely,
Matthew Evans
