COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) -- The Court Appointed Special Advocates for Children, or CASA, of the Pikes Peak Region, is hosting a "Dudes & Brews" event in Colorado Springs.

The event is meant to recruit male volunteers who want to advocate for kids in the Pikes Peak region.

Men who RSVP will enjoy a free drink, as well as free appetizers while learning what it means to be a CASA volunteer for a boy involved with the child welfare system and family court system due to abuse or neglect.

According to CASA, in a twelve-month period, there are about 800 kids in the Pikes Peak Region who require a CASA volunteer to advocate for their best interests.Many of those children are in foster care and about half of the children are boys who need a safe and positive male role model in their lives.

The event is at The Carter Payne building located at 320 South Weber Street, on Thursday, November 9, 2023.
