In June CASA welcomed three new volunteer advocates to help children in need. Lee Angela Garate, Kristina Sutera, and Paisley Hays took the time and steps to become a positive change in the lives of the children in Bradley and Polk counties. CASA of Bradley and Polk Counties served 225 children in 2025 and this is due to our wonderful volunteers being willing to advocate for them.

Kristina Sutera will be in Polk and Bradley counties, Lee Angela Garate will be in Polk county, and Paisley Hays will be in Bradley county.
