In recognition of Child Abuse Prevention month, please join us for our annual Hands Around the Courthouse—a meaningful ceremony held inside the courthouse rotunda that brings our community together in support of children in foster care.

This annual gathering honors children whose lives are impacted by abuse and/or neglect. It also celebrates the CASA Volunteer advocates who show up where children are—in their homes, schools, and communities—building trust, offering stability, and standing beside them every step of the way.

Hands Around the Courthouse is a moment to pause and recognize the courage of children in foster care, the impact of CASA/GAL volunteers, and the power of a community that chooses to care. Together, we shine a light forward—offering comfort, advocacy, and hope for brighter futures.

Ceremony will begin at noon in the courthouse rotunda. Light refreshments will be provided. 

Featuring Guest Speakers

Honorable Chief Judge Robert Villa

State’s Attorney Jamie Mosser

Remarks by: 

Jim Di Ciaula, Executive Director CASA Kane County
