Speak Up For A Child
Basic Senses "Speaks Up for a Child" by Donating Part of Their Sales to
CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates)
Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and bestselling author, Anna Quindlen
"You go into a court room and you will see lawyers who know the law and have dozens of kids' files, or you have social workers who know the regulations and have dozens of kids' files. But if a CASA volunteer is in the room, you will see they have just one file, and what they know is that one child. And that can make all the difference to a judge's decision regarding how the rest of that child's life is going to go."
- Anna Quindlen, on CBS "The Early Show."
