Franklin Mutual goes blue

This month, Court Appointed Special Advocates of Morris and Sussex Counties enlisted the help of local school districts, law firms and businesses to raise money through its “Go Blue for CASA” fundraising campaign.

Franklin Mutual Insurance of New Jersey was one of the organizations that raised funds which will directly support advocacy for children in the foster care system.

In an effort to raise awareness for children in foster care, Gov. Chris Christie designated “CASA Child Advocate Day.”

CASA recognized this day by inviting the community to “Go Blue” by wearing denim to school or work.

In exchange for wearing blue, each participant made a donation to CASA. The goal of this event was not only to raise funds to support daily advocacy for children who have been removed from their homes due to abuse and neglect, but also to heighten awareness of the plight of the most vulnerable children in the community.
