Local resident Crouse helps annual Flower Run event blossom

Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) and represents the children in court. The Milpitas-based organization's goal is "to provide stability and hope to children who have experienced abuse and neglect by being a powerful voice in their lives," according to the Child Advocates website. "We have a goal to serve every foster child in Santa Clara County," Crouse said. "We are trying to reach 900 in 2018 and 1,200 in the next three years." Crouse noted that she is continually inspired by the success stories of those who go through the program. "The foster youth (story) that always sticks with me is the one about a young man whose social worker implied that he wasn't really going to be a good match for having a CASA," she said. "Child Advocates matched him anyway and, with the help of his CASA, he ended up graduating from high school and going to UC Berkeley." Raising awareness The organization raises most of its money by holding community events – like the Flower Run – and through donations from individuals, foundations and corporations, according to its website. Crouse helped plan the inaugural Flower Run, held in downtown Los Altos last spring. Like that event, she hopes this year's run not only raises money for Child Advocates. but also raises awareness of the agency. "The big goal is to get a broader understanding that we're out there and that Child Advocates makes a real difference in the lives of children in foster care," Crouse said. "I feel like a fun run is really accessible. You pay $30, you get to go and run or walk and enjoy the refreshments afterwards, all while learning about Child Advocates." She added that last year's Flower Run raised just under $5,000 with 120 registrations. This year, Crouse and fellow organizers Joy Erf and Grace Zakaria hope to reach $7,500 and 200 registrations. Crouse said they have recruited several local businsses as sponsors. A raffle will follow the run; last year's prize items were donate...
