CASA Festival of Trees Raises Over $45,000 for Local Children

Farmington, Mo. (KFMO) - This past weekend’s 6th Annual CASA of the Parkland Festival of Trees was a major success, drawing strong support from across the community.

Executive Director JoAnna Watts says residents “showed up and showed out” for this year’s event.

Watts says the fundraiser brought in just over $45,000 for CASA of the Parkland. All money raised stays within the organization to support training and to purchase essential items for children in foster care.

CASA of the Parkland provides trained volunteers who serve as advocates for children navigating the court system, ensuring their needs and voices are prioritized.
