My CASA child has received three Friends of Alaska CASA grants. Most recently was a grant to support her entrance into BMX biking. Like most hobbies, BMX biking is expensive – specialized bikes and safety riding gear being the lion’s share of the expense. FAC’s grant application, quick response, and enthusiasm for supporting CINAs made the whole experience outstanding. I have linked my Amazon Smile purchases to their non-profit benefit because clearly the money is getting out to the children. Thank you FAC!
