VISNIC HOMES IS RUNNING FOR THE CHILDREN...

WILL YOU RUN FOR A CHILD?

For more than 20 years, Visnic Homes has had a strong presence in the metro area. We take seriously our responsibility to support the communities that have embraced us as we built homes where lasting family memories are created.

Families and children are at the very heart of our work. It is for this reason that we often support children’s causes. This month is Child Abuse Prevention month, and Visnic Homes is sponsoring the Fairfax CASA Run for the Children 10K Race and 3K Run/Walk, to be held on April 28th at 8:30 a.m. at the Fairfax County Courthouse.

Fairfax CASA is an extraordinary organization that trains and supervises citizen volunteers to advocate for abused and neglected children under court’s protection. These volunteers are called Court Appointed Special Advocates or CASA volunteers, and they make a difference by ensuring that every vulnerable child has a chance to grow, learn, and thrive in the safe embrace of a loving home. Serving as a CASA volunteer is a huge time commitment – something those of us raising families or working busy jobs may not be able to do.

Fortunately, there is a way we can all help – and it only takes one day. Join hundreds of runners and walkers who will take to the streets for Fairfax CASA’s 2nd annual Run for the Children10K Run and 3K Run/Walk on Saturday, April 28, to help raise funds to support Fairfax CASA and the work of CASA volunteers who advocate for the best interests of more than 500 abused and neglected children each year.

The event promises a challenging and fun course, delicious food, amazing prizes, and the satisfaction of knowing you are supporting a worthy cause right here in our community!
