Glow Blue for CASA 5K Fun Run & Candlelight Vigil

Run. Walk. Glow Blue for Children in Foster Care.

Join CASA of Hidalgo County for the 15th Annual Glow Blue for CASA 5K Fun Run & Candlelight Vigil, a community event dedicated to raising awareness and support for children in foster care.

CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) volunteers speak up for the best interests of children who have experienced abuse or neglect. Through advocacy, mentorship, and community support, CASA helps ensure every child has the opportunity to grow up in a safe, permanent, and nurturing home.

This special evening event brings the community together to run, walk, and shine a light for children who need advocates the most. Participants are encouraged to wear blue and glow gear as we come together in support of CASA’s mission.

Why Your Participation Matters

In Hidalgo County, many children experience abuse, neglect, or instability within the child welfare system. CASA volunteers provide a consistent voice for these children—ensuring their needs are heard in court and helping guide them toward safe, permanent homes.

Your participation in Glow Blue for CASA helps expand advocacy services and bring hope to children who need it most.
