VIGO COUNTY, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — Vigo County Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) will hold its Pirate Palooza, Saturday, as a way to kick off the summer.
It’s a closed event for the children that CASA serves. The organization said about 400 kids will be participating in the pirate-themed event, complete with costumes, obstacle courses, bounce houses and giveaways.
With support from Bogey’s, Pepsi, Elks Lodge 86 and the Putnamville Correction Facility, CASA said it will be a summer bash the kids will remember.
“A lot of kids that we serve don’t get the opportunity to do any grand vacations or travel, or things like that. So, this is our opportunity to give them a way to have memories for the summer to kick off and just have a good day,” said Glenna Cheesman, Director of Vigo County CASA. “This is a day for us to just hang out with the kids and just be kids ourselves, and be pirates. Who doesn’t like pirates?”
You can help the organization through donations by volunteering or by signing up to be an advocate.
