Court Appointed Special Advocates of the Cheaha Region will provide abused, neglected or abandoned children with a highly trained volunteer to advocate for the child’s best interest before family courts in the counties of St. Clair, Talladega, and Calhoun in the State of Alabama. Our volunteers will be recruited, screened and trained by paid staff. Our staff and volunteers will then work in conjunction with the judges, lawyers, and social workers to help ensure children receive appropriate care and support while navigating the court, child welfare, and foster care systems.

When Aplha Xi Delta at Jacksonville State University planned their Blue and Gold Gala benefiting children experiening foster care and/or homelessness, Cheaha CASA was honored to be recognized as a worthy cause being the boots on the ground for those children!
Selling out the beautiful Merrill Hall’s 250 seats at JSU, Alpha Xi Delta held a silent auction over dinner to raise funds for children experiencing foster care or homelessness- an effort that they understand takes us all!
Thank you, Alpha Xi Delta, for taking action for our children who need immediate assistance that is bigger than any one of us can do alone. With their help, we can continue to provide advocates for children who simply need to know that they aren’t alone.
So happy y’all came ❤️ blessed for everything CASA does!
Thank you Alpha Xi Delta at Jacksonville State!!! Alexandra Black 👍🏼

It’s a beautiful day on hole 17 as the Championship Flight comes through Sunny King’s final day! It sure is difficult to follow up our friends at Ted’s Abbey Carpet and Flooring’s tent, but we can’t wait to do it again next year!
Thank you, Sunny King Charity Classic, for hosting a remarkable sense of community with this event, giving to CASA, and standing with us against child abuse!
