By Staff Report

CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) of Kosciusko County won the Gold Telly in the Not-For-Profit Non-Broadcast category at the 45th Annual Telly Awards.
Written, directed and produced by DreamOn Studios, this accolade is part of their collection of 10 Telly Awards, including five won this year, according to a news release from DreamOn Studios.
The Telly Awards are judged by leaders from video platforms, television, streaming networks and production companies. This year’s winners include industry giants such as Adobe, Calvin Klein, ESPN, LinkedIn, Mother Jones, MTV Entertainment Studios, NASA, the LA Clippers (NBA), PlayStation Studios, Sawhorse Productions and TelevisaUnivision.
"Here at DreamOn Studios, we wanted to create something that not only embodies Kosciusko County but also resonates with our community. We were fortunate enough to make that happen. For us, our goal aligned perfectly with the CASA team’s – it’s all about the kids in our community and how we can serve them and ensure they get the support they need," said Matt Deuel, executive producer at DreamOn Studios.
"In 2023, 175 children required our services, and this year alone, we've already been involved in 158 cases. It looks like our caseload will surpass last year's, and we can't manage that without more volunteers. Raising awareness about CASA is crucial for the children in our community. This video beautifully tells the story of what CASA does, and we're incredibly grateful for that," said Erin Rowland Jones, executive director of CASA of Kosciusko County.
The award-winning cinematic promo highlights the crucial role that CASA volunteers play in supporting and advocating for the children of Kosciusko County. With over 175 kids needing a CASA volunteer last year alone, there is an urgent need for more volunteers who are essential in helping children find safe and permanent homes, the release states.
CASA volunteers will advocate for the best interests of abused and neglected children entangled in the Kosciusko County court system. For more information or to learn how to become a CASA volunteer, visit https://casachildren.com/.
