This August, we need all our local superheroes to assemble to fight child abuse & neglect at the 2022 CASA Superhero Run! This annual 5K & 1-mile walk/run helps nearly 500 children across Gregg, Rusk, & Upshur Counties. East Texas CASA advocates for the abused and neglected children of Gregg, Rusk, & Upshur Counties by providing a voice for each child in the court system. Our volunteers work diligently to ensure the safety of each child we serve. In 2021, there were over 893 abused and neglected children in DFPS custody in our service area. While East Texas CASA served over 549 children in our community by training volunteer advocates to be the voice for these children, we were not able to serve every child in these counties. It costs approximately $1,700 to serve each child and East Texas CASA is committed to providing a voice for every child in our community.
