Heroes Needed in Fairfax County

You can be a hero for abused and neglected children by running or walking on April 28 at Fairfax CASA's Run for the Children.

A new case of child abuse or neglect enters the Fairfax County Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court once every 38 hours. These children need heroes to make certain that that someone will be there for them, fighting for their right to grow up in safe and permanent homes.

You can be a hero for these children with one simple act. Register for Fairfax CASA’s April 28 and support the work of almost 200 CASA volunteers who advocate for abused and neglected children every day.
