About Kreative Virtual 5k for CASA Children's Intervention Services
Who is Kreative?
Kreative is a Woman-Owned Small Business dedicated to serving our customers through process management and appraisal support. We love our community in Northern Virginia and are committed to helping in any way we can. Kreative typically hosts an annual golf tournament event to support some of the many charities close to our hearts, but unfortunately, we are unable to host this event safely due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Cause
This year Kreative will be supporting CASA CIS (Court Appointed Special Advocates Children's Intervention Services). CASA volunteers are authorized individuals who support foster children in juvenile court cases. Volunteer advocates speak up on their child’s behalf and help them through what is often a confusing and scary time. The COVID-19 pandemic has offered a new set of challenges for neglected children who are no longer able to attend school safely. These children are now trapped at home with their abusers and are unable to seek help from trusted adults and teachers who can recognize the signs of abuse. It is now more important than ever to aid CASA in their efforts to remove neglected and abused children from harm's way and better their lives.

The Decision to Go Virtual
In order to protect our community, we have chosen to host a virtual event that could get individuals involved all across the nation. Although this type of event is new for both Kreative and CASA, we are excited to see what all we can accomplish through peer-to-peer fundraising. Unlike typical in-person events, the potential to raise funds for children in need of advocates and support is limitless. So please, get involved and help Kreative reach our goal to raise $25,000 for CASA CIS!

Why Participate?
Every day, children are being abused, neglected, or abandoned by the people who are supposed to love, care for and protect them. By participating in this virtual 5k you can help save a child from their abuser by providing them the resources they need. Donations from corporations and the community are essential to provide services for the over 300 children served each year. CASA is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, operating on government and local grants and business and community donations, so every bit helps!
You, your friends, your family, or even your organization can help change a child's life by participating individually or as a team. The option is up to you, but the more people involved the better! So whether you're running alone or with a group, we encourage you to involve as many people as possible for this cause.
How Your Support Makes a Difference
It costs $1,500 to provide each abused and neglected child in our area with a highly trained volunteer advocate for one full year. If we make it to our $25,000 goal by December 31 of this year we can provide approximately sixteen children with advocates in 2021. That's sixteen stories that could be changed for the better.
Every child in need living in Fauquier, Prince William, Rappahannock, and Warren Counties, and the cities of Manassas and Manassas Park deserves a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA). Your donation could help provide a child this and so much more.
