Our 4th Annual KATWALK was a huge success! Thanks to the support from other greek organizations, clubs, local establishments and individuals, Kappa Alpha Theta raised over a lot of money that will go directly to our philanthropy, CASA.

Court Appointed Special Advocates or CASA volunteers are a trained community of citizens who are appointed by a judge to speak up for abused and neglected children in court. CASA volunteers research the child's background details to help the court make a sound decision about the child's future.

The CASA program consists of 930 local programs and 46 state organizations. In 2002, 70,130 CASA volunteers served an estimated 279,160 children.

Thetas are involved with CASA in many ways. Each year, Theta college and alumnae chapters host fundraisers to support their local CASA chapters. These events raise tens of thousands of dollars annually to support CASA's work.

More importantly, Theta members provide personal support by volunteering their time in local CASA offices, making toys or items for CASA children, hostessing events for CASA children, or assisting with CASA fundraisers. Many Thetas complete the training to become CASA volunteers themselves
