RESOLUTION RECOGNIZING 3rd ANNUAL CASA SUPE' ERO RUN
ON SEPTEMBER 19,2015
WHEREAS,our children need to do more than simply survive. They need to thrive, in the safety and love of a
family throughout their childhood and into adulthood; and
WHEREAS,there are over 700 children in Butte County that have been abused and/or neglected and are now in
the Dependency Court System, living in foster care. These children face the overwhelming future of multiple foster
homes, multiple social workers, multiple schools and an uncertain life; and
WHEREAS,at its heart,this is not merely an issue of abuse, or neglect, or of a broken system, or overburdened
workers, but of the unalienable rights of a child. This is about ensuring that every child has the right to learn, grow and be
treated with dignity and respect; and
WHEREAS,Court Appointed Special Advocate(CASA)volunteers are essential in ensuring the child is heard
and supported throughout the Dependency Court Process. It is recognized that the involvement of a CASA in a neglected
and abused child's life results in the Dependency Court Judge's ability to make informed lifelong decisions on behalf of
the child. CASA's provide neglected and abused children in the Dependency Court System with a consistent caring adult
who will ensure the child's safe passage out of foster care,to the benefit of the child and generations to come; and
WHEREAS,the CASA program is one of the most underfunded programs and the County wishes to support its
fund raising efforts for this worthy program. Everyone in the program from administrators to volunteers to the children
who are in the System are Superheroes; and
WHEREAS the CASA support agency has put together a fundraiser for the benefit of our CASA program by
sponsoring a Little Heroes Dash, 5K run/walk and 10K CASA SUPERHERO RUN event on Saturday September 19,
2015 in Bidwell Park as noted on the website www.runzleasa.comi
NOW THEREFORE,BE IT RESOLVED, that Saturday September 19, 2015 is designated as CASA
SUPERHERO DAY. The Board of Supervisors wishes to support the fund raising efforts for this worthy program. All
citizens of the COUNTY of BUTTE are urged to support this worthy program and to participate in the CASA
SUPERHERO RUN either as a runner or by financially sponsoring runners, including children who are under the mantle
of the CASA program.
