May is National Foster Care Month and the Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) program in partnership with Allegheny County DHS will host The Forgotten Child Campaign to raise awareness about, and mobilize community members around, the issues facing all children who live in foster care. The Campaign will begin with a noontime rally on May 11th on the steps of the City County Building on Grant Street. On that day, community members will participate in a “flash mob”, holding cardboard cut-outs of our “Forgotten Children.” If you are interest in participating please contact CASA at 412-594-3606. Visit http://www.pgh-casa.org/forgottenfor more information.
CASA’s mission is to ensure that every child has a safe, supportive and permanent home by providing volunteer advocacy for the best interests of abused and neglected children within the child welfare system.
