Resolution Na. 18-133
RESOLUTION RECOGNIZING THE ANNUAL CASA SUPERHERO RUN ON SEPTEMBER 15,2018
WHEREAS, there are over 700 children in Butte County that have been abused and/or neglectedand 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. The involvement of CASAs in the life of a neglected and abused
child results in the Dependency Court Judge's ability to make informed lifelong decisions on behalf of the child. CASAs
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, SK run/walk and 10K CASA SUPERHERO RUN event on Saturday, September 15, 2018 in
Bidwell Park as noted on the CASA website www.run4casa.com.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Supervisors hereby designates Saturday, September 15,
2018, as CASA SUPERHERO DAY. The Board of Supervisors encourages all citizens of Butte County to support the
fundralsing efforts of this worthy program by participating in the CASA SUPERHERO RUN or sponsoring a runner.
