CASA for Hunt County 2010 LOH

Every first Thursday of April, CASA for Hunt County, together with Child Protective Service holds a vigil as part of a national movement to bring attention to the plight of abused and neglected children. Our second annual event started by both organizations placing a candle on the steps of the Hunt County Courthouse as a symbol of hope for those children who are currently under the jurisdiction of the county child protection court.

Several members of the community, Staff, Board and Volunteers gather at this Light of Hope event that represents each child who has been identified as abused and neglected in our community. Hunt County joined hearts with others across the nation to commemorate all the children who are victims of abuse and/or neglect, and continue to wait in the courts system for a safe, permanent home. This national event is to benefit abused or neglected children across the nation and those in our community who currently are under the jurisdiction of the county dependency courts.

Next year we anticipate moving this event to the evening so that we can accommodate more volunteers, and community. A Candlelight vigil is being considered and we will be looking for your continued support.

If you are interested in participating or sponsoring our Candlelight Vigil 2011 please call (903) 450-4410.
