From the organizer
The mission of Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Hidalgo County is to advocate for the best interests of children in the foster care system by promoting and supporting quality volunteer representation—ensuring every child has the opportunity to grow up in a safe, permanent, and nurturing home.
In Hidalgo County, the need for CASA is significant. During fiscal year 2024–2025, 2,086 children experienced foster care. CASA volunteers served 246 children, representing only 8.5% of those who needed a dedicated voice in court. With community support, we can reach more children who deserve advocacy and stability.
The 15th Annual Glow Blue for CASA 5K Fun Run/Walk is an evening event held in recognition of Child Abuse Prevention Awareness Month. The event will begin with a candlelight vigil honoring children impacted by abuse and neglect, followed by a 5K Fun Run/Walk symbolizing hope, awareness, and action.
Proceeds benefit CASA of Hidalgo County, Inc., helping ensure that every child in foster care who needs a voice has a CASA volunteer by their side.
You can be a hero in a child’s life—join us and help make a difference!!
