Benefiting CASA and Nashville Children's Alliance

CASA Nashville serves some of the most vulnerable children in our community.  These children are placed in foster care by the state because they are abused and neglected by those who are supposed to love and protect them.  Our mission is to advocate for hope, healing, and permanency for these children by providing trained Volunteer Advocates to be their voice. Last year 193 Volunteer Advocate Champions were the one constant in a scary and uncertain time in 389 children’s lives.

Nashville Children's Alliance, founded in 1992, provides no-cost services to Nashville children who have experienced sexual or severe physical abuse. Such services include forensic interviews, therapy sessions, court support, and family crisis services.
