Investing in Children, Strengthening Our Community: CASA-EP Launches 2026 Sponsorship Opportunities

Share This Post

At CASA of the Eastern Panhandle, our mission is rooted in one simple but powerful belief: every child deserves a safe, stable, and permanent home.

As we look ahead to 2026, we are proud to officially launch our Annual Sponsorship Opportunities, inviting businesses and community leaders to partner with us in creating lasting impact for children who have experienced abuse and neglect.

Why Sponsorship Matters

The work of CASA-EP is made possible through the generosity of individuals and organizations who believe in standing up for children when it matters most.

As Executive Director Michelle Sudduth shares:

“At the heart of our mission is a dedicated network of trained volunteers and professional staff who serve as a consistent, trusted presence in the lives of vulnerable children.” 

These advocates ensure that each child’s voice is heard—not only in the courtroom, but across schools, healthcare systems, and the broader community.

But the need continues to grow.

“Many more are still waiting for someone to stand beside them.” 

That’s where sponsorship becomes so important. Your support helps us expand programs, train volunteers, and reach more children who need advocacy and stability.

The Impact of Your Support

When a child has a CASA, they are:

  • More likely to succeed in school
  • More likely to find a safe, permanent home
  • Half as likely to re-enter the foster care system 

Sponsorship isn’t just support.  It’s a direct investment in better outcomes for children and stronger futures for our community.

2026 Sponsorship Levels

CASA-EP offers several sponsorship tiers designed to align with your organization’s goals while maximizing impact:

Provides a full year of advocacy, education support, and life-skills programming for up to 10 children, along with premier recognition and leadership-level visibility.

Founder Society – $7,500

Ambassador – $5,000

Advocate – $2,500

Each level includes meaningful recognition opportunities and the chance to be part of CASA-EP’s signature event, the Garden Gala on August 29, 2026, at Wild Goose Farm.

More Than a Sponsorship

CASA-EP’s sponsorship program is about more than recognition—it’s about partnership.

“Your partnership… sustains our advocacy programs, strengthens families, and empowers young people with the tools they need to build successful futures.” 

Together, we can ensure that every child in the Eastern Panhandle has someone in their corner—someone who believes in them and helps them move toward a brighter future.
