Books & Buddies 2025

This holiday season, you can help bring comfort and joy to a child in foster care through CASA’s Books & Buddies campaign!

For just $30, you can sponsor a child by providing a cuddly, custom Build-A-Bear friend and a book to read together. Each gift will be personally delivered by the child’s volunteer advocate during December — a reminder that they are seen, valued, and cared for.

Every sponsorship also includes the opportunity to write a special note that will be shared with the child alongside their gift.

Donations of any size are gratefully accepted — every contribution helps us bring warmth, imagination, and friendship to the children we serve.

Together, we can make this season a little brighter, one book and one buddy at a time. 💙📚🐻♥️
