CASA of the Lincoln Trail serves children who have experienced abuse or neglect in Nelson, Marion, and Washington Counties. Our trained volunteers advocate for their best interests in family court, ensuring each child’s voice is heard and their needs are met.
On Sunday, April 12, 2026, we’ll host the Champions for Children Luncheon, a mission-driven gathering to honor the advocates, volunteers, and community leaders who stand up for vulnerable children. As part of our Child Abuse Awareness Month programming, this event highlights the power of community in creating safer futures for kids. The event features a buffet meal, moving stories from CASA volunteers, and the presentation of our annual Champion Awards.
We’re honored to welcome Miss Kentucky, Ariana Rodriguez, a former Bardstown foster child, as our keynote speaker. Arianna will share her personal journey and speak to the life-changing impact of having a CASA advocate.
Guests will also take part in a silent auction and a powerful live appeal moment, offering meaningful ways to support CASA’s mission throughout the program.
