News Release: 1/15/2025

My name is Margot Icenogle-Larsen and I am the Executive Director with Kearney/Buffalo County CASA.  CASA is a non-profit organization that provides volunteers who advocate for abused and neglected children in Buffalo and Kearney counties court system.  We are seeking donations to support our annual fundraiser which contributes to a substantial part of our annual budget. CASA is a volunteer-powered agency which relies on the generosity of individuals to step forward and help our community’s most vulnerable population, our children. CASA volunteers provide best-interest advocacy for children and youth who have experienced abuse or neglect as they move through the court system. CASA follows the guiding principles of family preservation, restoration and the understanding that each person’s family is as unique as their cultural values, history and traditions. Children who have a CASA volunteer advocating for their best interests are half as likely to reenter foster care, and more likely to find a safe, permanent home. “Every child deserves a hero in their life, but for the children we serve, they deserve not only a hero. A Light of Hope.” That could be you! Your donations help in so many ways. Please plan to donate and attend our Annual Light of Hope Fundraiser, March 28, 2025, at the Younes Conference Center South. We need your help now more than ever. There will be dinner, auction, and trivia game. We would love for you to join us if you are available.

If you are interested in being a corporate sponsor, please check out our website at kearneybuffalocountycasa.com or call our office at 308-865-5675. 

All the funds raised at this event is kept locally to help the children in Buffalo and Kearny counties.  

Thank you for all your support!
