At our Peace Breakfast, open your heart and feel the true rewards of giving, feel alive in the cause with others and feel the power you have to make a difference. Join the CASA family as we give together, survive together, hope together and make peace together. Dynamic speakers will share how our community creates safety for battered women and their children. In 2000, almost 700 community leaders attended our fourth Breakfast. And remember, children raised in this environment are more likely to become school dropouts, teen parents, substance abusers, suicide victims, or criminals.
Violence is especially traumatic for the children.
Last year, CASA provided shelter and transitional housing to almost 800 battered women and their children fleeing from dangerous homes and abusive partners. But CASA does far more than offer refuge. Through our community programs, CASA reaches out to thousands of families. We work in pre-schools and schools, in businesses, hospitals and the justice system to prevent the violence before it happens. CASA offers a lifeline to safety for thousands of victims and their children each year.
