Dear Friend,

Dr. Phil The holidays are here, and Robin and I will be sitting down with old friends and family around the holiday table. We hope you will be, too, and our blessings on you. In a perfect world, every child would know that simple joy this season—but every child won’t. That’s why we’re asking you to stand up for foster kids by making a gift to National CASA today.

You may have heard me say it before: “You can’t change what you don’t acknowledge.”

National CASA’s Forgotten Children campaign is all about helping America to acknowledge its problem: too many abused and neglected kids, and not enough people to serve them. This is what Americans need to change, and CASA volunteers—60,000 of them, working through 954 programs across the country—are already on the job, fighting to give these kids a voice and get them into safe, permanent homes. CASA volunteers are on the frontlines—investigating, communicating, and giving each child his or her voice in court.

That’s why Robin and I have stepped forward to be the spokespersons for the Forgotten Children campaign. We want to help make the work of CASA volunteers known in every household in this nation. Right now, CASA volunteers serve approximately 250,000 of 800,000 kids who pass through the foster care system each year. If this campaign brings as much new awareness, money, and volunteer enlistment as Robin and I know it can, then it’s going to bring us a lot closer to that day when there’s a CASA volunteer standing by the side of every single child in foster care.

You can help us reach that ultimate goal by making a gift today. It costs on average $950 a year to give a child a CASA volunteer. That means that every $80 you can give supports a CASA volunteer’s efforts for another month—but for that child, it’s a gift that lasts a lifetime.

With best wishes for a happy holiday season,

Dr. Phil and Robin McGraw

National CASA's success relies on many generous partners, including a large network of dedicated community members, corporations and government funders.

Thank you for your support.

In this season more than any other, no matter how bad things may have been at home, youth who have been removed from the care of their families long for home. I am certain that if every man, woman and child in this country understood the full range and depth of what these children endure—and what CASA volunteers uniquely do to ease their burden and point them forward—every heart would melt. The call would go out, the money would pour in, and soon every foster child would have a CASA volunteer standing by his or her side.

That would be a season of joy.
