The Foundation for CASA of Central Texas

In Honor of Norma Castilla-Blackwell

“There is no better return on charitable giving than protecting a child in need. When a child is kept safe and feels loved, the whole community benefits from the adult that child becomes. CASA of Central Texas has served this mission faithfully for more than four decades. My husband and I have given, and will continue to give, to support its ongoing operations – but we also give to the Foundation because we want to ensure that work continues indefinitely into the future. Against the backdrop of a rapidly growing population here in Central Texas and nation-wide trends of declining government funding and private giving, the Foundation is building long-term financial security for CASA’s crucial role serving children in our community.”

-Jennifer Gasser, Foundation for CASA of Central Texas Board President
