Lassen Family Services’ CASA Program held a Superhero themed 5K fun run and one-mile walk October 9th, to help support programs for abused and neglected children in Lassen County.
The first-place finishers of the event, which was timed by Linda Powell and the Bizz Running Company, were Deric Davenport and Kay Runyon.
CASA’s mission is to provide specially selected and trained community volunteers to advocate for abused and neglected children in Lassen County’s juvenile dependency system. The group works as a non-profit program under the umbrella agency of Lassen Family Services, in collaboration with key agencies, legal counsel and community resources to ensure that each child’s best interests are protected.
