February Newsletter
Dear Friends and Supporters,
As we reach the midpoint of fiscal year 2025-2026, I want to thank you for being part of our community and share how your support continues to change the lives of children who have experienced abuse and neglect in Boulder County.
From July through December 2025, 180 children were served by Voices for Children, CASA of Boulder County. With the help of our dedicated volunteers, children had a consistent, caring adults advocating for their best interests in court, at school, and in the community.
This work is powered by caring people willing to commit to the vulnerable children in our community. We proudly swore in 16 new CASA volunteers, bringing our total to 158 active volunteers. This group of community members dedicated 2,406 volunteer hours of listening, building trust, and speaking up for children who need their voices heard advocating for safe, permanent placement.
Our mid-year report is more than a summary of numbers; it is a reflection of the children served, the advocates who stood by them, and the community that made it all possible. Click here to view our full 2025-2026 mid-year report.
As we move into the second half of the year, we remain focused on strengthening our programs, expanding access to CASA advocacy, and ensuring every child has a caring adult advocating for their best interest.
Thank you for your continued support and belief in the power of CASA.
Graciously,
Margaret Bachrach
Chief Executive Officer
