CASA of the 31st Judicial District held its 13th Annual Fathers Day Charity Golf Tournament on June 16 to and to have some fun while raising funds to increase the size of the Court Appointed Special Advocates program in this Judicial District.
Fathers play a huge role in raising children and keeping them safe, so what better day to celebrate advocacy for children.
The tournament was held at the Allen County Country Club and was hosted by District Court Judges Daniel Creitz and David Rogers. The funds support the Court Appointed Special Advocates Program (CASA) which recruits, trains and supports volunteer advocates who the judges assign to children who have been abused or neglected and found by the court to be in need of care.
