Downstream Casino and Resort Donates $10,000 to Jasper County CASA to Support Child Advocacy Efforts
Downstream Casino and Resort is proud to announce a donation of $10,000 to Jasper County CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates), a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing a voice for abused and neglected children in Jasper County. The funds will be used to support the organization’s mission to recruit, train, and support community volunteers who advocate for the safety and well-being of vulnerable children.
Jasper County CASA plays a critical role in ensuring that children in the foster care system are placed in safe, permanent homes as quickly as possible. Through the dedication of its volunteer advocates, CASA works tirelessly to ensure that each child receives the care and attention they need to thrive.

The donation will go toward expanding CASA’s volunteer recruitment and training programs, ensuring more advocates are available to support children who have experienced abuse or neglect. With more trained volunteers, CASA will be able to serve even more children and work to ensure they have the support they need in their journey toward a stable home.
