BE A HERO FOR A CHILD
Thank you to those who attended Frank Parrish's Annual Car Wash!​
​​
On Sunday, June 1, 2025, car wash visitors donated over $10,000, which will help CASA DC fulfill our mission to provide court-appointed volunteer advocacy for abused and neglected children in the DC foster care and juvenile justice systems.
Frank hosts this annual event in loving memory of his foster sister, Krisshauna Monique La’Shay Moore, whose life was cut too short. She was a bright light in this world.
We appreciate Frank's support and everyone who came out for this fun event! You can continue to support CASA DC and honor Krisshauna's memory by making a one time or monthly recurring donation.

OUR MISSION
Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) for Children of DC is a 501(c)(3) non-profit whose mission is to promote court-appointed volunteer advocacy so that every abused and neglected child in the DC foster care or juvenile justice system can be safe, establish permanence and have the opportunity to thrive. This mission is carried out through the recruitment, training, and support of volunteer advocates (CASA volunteers) who serve youth in DC.
"My CASA volunteer Samaura advocated on my behalf to my other team members and what I wanted finally started being heard by my team. I called her the glue to my team because she was always picking up loose ends from other team members and always there for me when I needed her."
Dijonia, Former Foster Youth
Building a Brighter Future for DC Youth
Children who have experienced abuse or neglect fare better with a CASA volunteer by their side. Studies have shown:
They are more likely to find a safe & PERMANENT HOME
THEY ARE MORE LIKELY TO SUCCEED IN SCHOOL
THEY ARE LESS LIKELY TO RE-ENTER THE FOSTER CARE SYSTEM
CASA DC's YouTube channel is here!
CASA volunteers share their experiences with their youth through COVID-19 as they continue to serve and make a difference.​​​
