Happy New Year from CASA!

Dear Friends,

What a year! Throughout the year you joined us in celebrating CASA of Lancaster and Lebanon Counties’ 15th anniversary! Together, we advocated for more children, expanded our best-interest child advocacy program, celebrated “forever homes” for many youth, welcomed more CASA volunteer advocates, and raised the funds to make it all possible. Thank you for being an integral part of our journey – whether since our start or more recently.

During 2025, so far, we have:

- Served 253 children, 14% more than 2024

- Received referrals for 106 new children, 33% more than 2024

- Welcomed 34 new CASA volunteers, 35% more than 2024

- Held our annual heroes gala, Crystals and Cowboys, which was the most successful event in our history with our largest number of attendees and funds raised to support our mission

2026 brings us another big year! We will be embarking on a major interior office remodel which will provide us more office space and, most importantly, a dedicated gathering space to bring our volunteers, supporters, and trainees together. All of our efforts will continue with the sole focus of providing best-interest advocacy to as many children and youth as we are able.

Wishing you and yours a holiday season of laughter, joy, and love,

Jessica Laspino

Executive Director
