#GivingTuesday

Fairfax CASA Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA), Neighbor

You've heard of Black Friday and Cyber Monday? Well there's a new day in the holiday season - a day to give back! Tomorrow  December 3, 2013 is #GivingTuesday, a national movement during the holidays dedicated to charitable giving.

Show your generosity on #GivingTuesday with a gift to Fairfax CASA (donate here). Your contribution allows our volunteers to continue fighting for the fundamental rights of abused or neglected children. Our program depends on contributions from individuals to sustain its operations.  Less than 50 percent of the program’s annual budget from comes from state or county funds. 

When you give, your contribution has a direct impact on the children served. With low overhead, eighty- three cents out of every dollar donated to Fairfax CASA provides direct support to our volunteers in their role as Court Appointed Special Advocates.
