CASA Superhero Run

Event Overview

Join us for the CASA Superhero 5K fun run/walk and 10K run through historic Leavenworth, KS, followed by a kids' superhero race (100 yards).

About CASA

The CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) concept is based on the belief that every child has the right to a safe, permanent home. Unlike attorneys and social workers, the CASA volunteer speaks exclusively for the child's best interests.

• Focus: CASA volunteers handle only one or two cases at a time, compared to a social agency caseworker's average load of 60 – 90.
• Thoroughness: The CASA volunteer takes the time to explore each assigned case's history thoroughly.
• Investigation: The volunteer talks with the child, parents, family members, neighbors, school officials, doctors, and others involved in the child's life.
• Reporting: The volunteer submits a formal report to the court recommending placement options for the child.

If the court leaves the child in temporary care, the CASA volunteer provides continuity by staying on the case until it is resolved and placed in a safe, permanent home.
