CASA of Rochester/Monroe County

⛳ Fore the kids! 🏌️ The 28th Annual Pat Slimmer Memorial CASA Golf Tournament was a hole-in-one for the children we serve. Thanks to our incredible golfers, sponsors, and volunteers, we're one step closer to making sure every child in the family court system has a dedicated advocate in their corner. Thank you to everyone who teed up for CASA! 💙

Huge thank you to Ridgemont Country Club & Fedeles at Ridgemont Catering for all your help in making this event a success!

Children in the family court system often experience multiple changes throughout their journey. Having one consistent adult advocate can make a meaningful difference in their lives.

CASA volunteers work alongside professionals to ensure children's needs, wishes, and best interests are represented in court.

Together, we can help create brighter futures.

🌈 Happy Pride Month!

CASA celebrates diversity, inclusion, and the power of creating communities where everyone feels seen, valued, and supported.
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

We are excited to welcome Aryn Keyel Datta, our new Advocate Supervisor, to the team! She brings years of experience supporting people navigating complex legal and social systems – from youth advocates in rural New York to families impacted by the justice system and substance use disorders in Illinois.

On Tuesday, June 2nd, she was sworn-in by the Honorable Kristine Demo-Vazquez, who thanked her for joining the CASA team to further the mission! We are so excited you're here, Aryn! 💙❤️

Rounding out our Spring 2026 class of new advocates is Daniel Frenkel, who was sworn-in today by Judge Mazzo! Like his classmates, Daniel has taken his Oath of Confidentiality and is eager to begin serving as a CASA. Thanks for your commitment to serving children who've been abused or neglected, Daniel! We're excited to have you. 💙❤️ •••
