Episode Details

Kelly Price, executive director, and Pam Perkins, board president of CASA of West Central Illinois, joined Galesburg's Morning News on Thursday, June 11, 2026, to preview Putts 'N' Pubs and talk about the organization's work on behalf of foster children across five counties. Putts 'N' Pubs is Saturday, July 11 — check-in at 2 p.m. at Reserve Artisan Ales, 185 S. Kellogg St. Event runs 3–7 p.m. Tickets are $30 per person, teams of four. Kelly and Pam walk through how the pub golf event works, what CASA volunteers actually do for children in foster care, and why the need is greater than most people realize — there are more than 400 children in foster care across CASA's five-county service area, and the organization is currently serving 127 of them. CASA is looking for volunteers and board members. It takes under five hours a month to make a real difference. Learn more at casaofwestcentralillinois.org or call (309) 343-4299.
