Amplify Austin kicks off on March 4 at 6 PM and lasts until March 5 at 6 PM. There’s never been a more important time to help the children we serve by donating or fundraising.
On top of the anxiety and loss that many of us are experiencing in the wake of the storm and COVID-19, the children we serve have also experienced life-altering trauma. You can give them CASA volunteers who will ensure their best interests remain a priority in this chaotic time.
Our goal is to raise $60,000 between now and the end of Amplify Austin, March 5 at 6 PM, to provide 30 children with dedicated CASA volunteers to advocate on their behalf this year.
