Have you ever stopped to think about how many abused and neglected children there are in the country and even your own, local community? If you pay attention to your local community, you will be shocked by the number of abused and neglected children there really are. These children need immediate help!

If you are looking for the US-based nonprofit that has a social mission to provide these children with safe and permanent home, CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) for Children is a good choice! It is a nonprofit organization that has been working towards helping hundreds of children live in good homes and free from any kind of neglect and abuse.

Below are a few goals of CASA of Peoria County:

1. Helps in finding a safe and permanent home for children
2. Helps children to complete their education and become a productive member of the society
3. Provides a better environment for children to live in
4. Provides hope to abused and neglected children
5. Provides stay in foster care till they find a permanent home

To raise awareness for CASA of Peoria County and help raise money to sponsor children in the Peoria, IL community, they have created an online fundraising campaign with Connect To Charity™. The goal is to raise funds in accomplishing their mission for providing a better future to innocent children. They have set a goal amount of $3,600 that is to be raised by the 1st June 2011. The support of $1,200 for an abused child will provide a voice and advocacy for full one year.
