They support children and families through our Guardianship Assistance program, providing vital advocacy for children whose parents are unable to care for them. Thank you Tyndale House Foundation!

Volunteer Shoutout

CASA of DuPage County is proud to spotlight Stephanie Horn for her incredible dedication and impact. Stephanie has played a pivotal role in our annual Gala since 2019, serving as a driving force behind the auction efforts. From coordinating outreach to local businesses and securing donations, to curating creative packages and ensuring seamless presentation on event day, she has gone above and beyond to make the auction a success. What truly sets Stephanie apart is her energy, generosity, and collaborative spirit, always willing to pitch in on last-minute needs and represent CASA with generosity and purpose. 

We are grateful to celebrate Stephanie and the lasting difference she continues to make in our community!
