Team CASA is accepting applications to be on our charity team for the 2021 Bank of America Shamrock Shuffle! Members of our team use the unforgettable experience of training for and running this iconic Chicago race to raise awareness and funds for the most vulnerable individuals in Chicago–children in the Cook County foster care system who have experienced abuse and/or neglect.

Team CASA Shamrock Shuffle runners must raise a minimum of $350. Runners directly impact the lives of children who will receive individual advocacy in court by a trained CASA volunteer. The advocacy that they receive has been shown to shorten the time they are in foster care and ensure they receive needed medical, educational, and social services while in care. The ultimate goal of CASA is to help each child find a safe, permanent home. The trajectory of these children’s lives are changed because they have a committed adult CASA volunteer who is with them throughout the most traumatic time in their lives.
