Stop by and see us at Dan Cummins Ford Lincoln, located at 4080 Lexington Road in Nicholasville, at 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 12th for the Jessamine County CASA Joy Tree kickoff! 🎄
Attendees will enjoy refreshments and a festive holiday atmosphere as the CASA Joy Tree is lit. Then, they will select names from the Joy Tree of children in the family court system who need gifts this holiday season.
"This is your chance to give a little happiness, hope and joy to a child who has already known too much trauma and chaos.”
— Melynda Jamison, Executive Director of CASA of Lexington
“The CASA mission to help … kids is woven into the fabric of the Dan Cummins family. The CASA Joy Tree is the perfect way to start the holiday season — by remembering those in need and taking action to brighten their lives.”
— Josh Cummins, Dan Cummins Auto Group
After choosing a name from the tree you will receive that child's clothing sizes and wish list in order to shop for their gifts. Later these gifts will be brought to designated drop-offs, following which CASA volunteers will deliver them to the children’s caretakers in time for Christmas or any other holiday the child celebrates.
For more information about the CASA Joy Tree in Jessamine County or the Joy Tree events in the other counties served by CASA of Lexington, visit www.casaoflexington.org/joytree. There you can also see a wish list of the most commonly wished-for items. You can purchase these items and have them shipped to CASA of Lexington. They will be used to supplement the gifts purchased by CASA Joy Tree participants.
