KAPPA ALPHA THETA (ΚAΘ)

KAT-AT-BAT

SPRING 2011- March 26, 2011

Kat-At-Bat is a whiffle ball game with eight people per team.  You pay $10 when you sign up and that covers a free t-shirt and meal with the In-N-Out truck that comes to the event. One hundred percent of the proceeds made from ticket sales goes to Court Appointed Special Advocates (C.A.S.A.). This organization funds volunteers to get training so that they can properly represent foster kids in court; which is part of the process for them to finding a home within the foster care system.  This organization is very important because many children get put into homes that do not have proper background checks and whom neglect and abuse them.  Thus, C.A.S.A. steps in to give them a voice in court so that the children can have a say in their future.  Futhermore, these "special advocates" are more than just representatives, they are also friends and advisors.  They take a primary role in the child's life and provides stability in an ever-changing environment.  Overall, Kat-At-Bat funds the welfare and development of children in the foster-care system. Thanks to all our participants and sponsors last year! We were able to raise $5,000 dollars for C.A.S.A and hope to exceed that goal this year!
