Calling all CASAnovas!
The kids of McLean County need your help!
The Child Protection Network (CPN) is looking for YOU - a highly influential community member, who loves a little competition and has the ability to change a child’s story.
What is a CASAnova?
CASAnovas are extremely essential to CPN's fundraising efforts and play a key role in working to raise funds by spreading the word to friends, colleagues, and the community to compete for the coveted CASAnova crown.
The online competition begins April 1st as CASAnovas work to solicit $1.00 votes with the goal of reaching a minimum of 1,200 votes ($1,200).
How did we come up with this amount? $1,200 is the cost per child for CASA Advocacy.
On May 19, 2023 we will tally up the votes and the CASAnova with the highest number of votes will win the title of "King/Queen of CASA." The winner will be announced the next evening at our annual fundraising event, DUEL.
Who can apply be a CASAnova?
In order to make our financial goal, we are looking for a minimum of 10 community members to participate. Anyone can apply, and this is a perfect opportunity for anyone who:
