WHO BENEFITS?

The Morris County Bar Foundation and the Court Appointed Special Advocates of Morris and Sussex Counties, Inc. (“CASA”) will divide the net profits from the Lawyers for Kids 5K.

The Morris County Bar Foundation is the charitable arm of the Morris County Bar Association, a 1200 member organization of attorneys who practice or live in Morris County. We serve the community through our legal clinics, fellowships and grants for needy law school students, fundraising on behalf of the community-based organizations, financial grants to area non-profits with programs related to the law, and seminars for local residents to provide information about the law.

CASA is a not-for-profit organization that advocates for the rights of abused, neglected, or abandoned children in an attempt to place those children in a safe and permanent home. Community volunteers, trained and supervised by a professional staff, serve as a voice for children’s interests during Family Court proceedings. Volunteers are guided by the belief that children in foster care, like all children, need a permanent, stable family environment in which to grow.

CASA serves over 300 children a year in Morris and Sussex counties. The CASA volunteer works with the court and all interested parties, but focuses solely on the long-term needs of the children who have been victims of neglect, abuse, or abandonment.
