The CASA Kid Walk is an eight-week season during which Kid Walk Teams and Solo Superheroes raise awareness and funds for forgotten, abused children who need a permanent home.
Most teams begin fundraising after the Launch Party on Saturday, August 15th from 10am - noon at Carson Park in Eureka (H & Buhne). The Launch Party is an opportunity for team and solo-superhero walkers to compete for prize money toward their fundraising goals, pick up Kid Walk materials, and meet their mentor.
During the season, walkers of all ages raise awareness and funds in lots of fun ways, including holding bake sales, hosting dinners, setting out donation cans, getting sponsorships from friends and family, creating an online fundraising webpage, organizing fun events or activities, and more!.
Since it takes $1,000 to provide an abused child with a CASA each year, the suggested minimum goal for each team is $1,000. For personal goals, 10x's what the walker is able to give is a good starting place for goal setting.
The Seventh Annual Kid Walk takes place on Saturday, October 10th at the Eureka Veteran's Memorial Building.
5k walkers begin at 9:30, 2k walkers begin at 10, and all event participants complete the "Champions for Children Victory Lap" together starting at 11am.
100% of the money raised by this event stays in Humboldt County!
The abused children in Humboldt depend on community support to get the advocacy they need.
If you can't be a volunteer advocate, the next best thing you can do is Kid Walk!
Please join us in creating another hopeful year to add to 18 years
of making a difference to hundreds of Humboldt County's children.
All walkers raising $200 or more, whether team members or solo superheros,
will receive a t-shirt!
Teams meeting the $1,000 goal will carry a child's banner in the Kid Walk.
Prizes will be given to Top Earners in these categories:
1st Place Team
2nd Place Team
3rd Place Team
1st Place Solo-Superhero
Most Creative Team Theme
Team prizes will be for five. Past prizes have included dinner at Chapala's, lunch at Babe's Pizzeria, and tickets to the North Coast Repertory Theater.
