Our Philanthropy: CASA
CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) is a national organization of volunteers who judges appoint to speak for the safety and well-being of abused and neglected children. By being independent investigators and advocates, their volunteers can make all the difference in these children's lives. Research shows children with a CASA volunteer are much less likely to languish in long-term foster care. CASA is a national cause with 68,000 volunteers in over 970 locations across the country. Last year, they served about a quarter million children, about one-third of the over 780,000 children in foster care.
“More than 90% of children with CASA volunteers never reenter the child welfare system, a significant difference compared to the general foster care population. This outcome also results in significant savings in child welfare expenses,”

Meet our VP of External Affairs!
My name is Reagan Morgan and I have the honor and privilege of serving as Vice President of External Affairs this year. As Theta women, we value acts of service.
“Commitment to Service” is one of the four points of our kite, so it is something our chapter prioritizes. Our main philanthropy is Court Appointed Special Advocates, or “CASA,” and we are much enough to support the lock branch in Lee County.
We have been able to raise money for Lee County CASA through our large philanthropy events, Food Trucks for CASA and Theta Twist, benefits and more. Our women truly value service, through service projects and drives, it has been a blessing to watch our member give back to the community that has give so much to us.
I have loved my time as VP of External Affairs as it is truly inspiring how much our women love our philanthropy. I look forward to sharing more about our sisterhood and philanthropy during the philanthropy round of recruitment.
Theta Love and Mine,
Reagan Morgan
