News Release
WINONA LAKE — The Kosciusko County Young Republicans hosted their 3rd Annual Golf
Scramble in June at Stonehenge Golf Course and more than 80 golfers helped raise $2,500 for CASA of Kosciusko County.
Young Republicans proudly presented Erin Rowland Jones, CASA’s executive director, with a $2,500 donation to support their work advocating for abused and neglected children in the local court system.

“We are proud to support CASA and the incredible impact they make in the lives of children
right here in Kosciusko County,” said Joe Sobek, Chairman of the Kosciusko County Young
Republicans. “This event is about more than golf — it’s about investing in our community’s
future.”

CASA of Kosciusko County provides trained volunteer advocates to speak up for children who have experienced abuse or neglect, ensuring their best interests are always at the front and center of their journey through the child welfare system. The funds raised will help CASA continue its mission of providing hope, stability, and a consistent adult presence in the lives of vulnerable children.

Executive Director Erin Rowland Jones expressed her gratitude: “We are deeply thankful to the Kosciusko County Young Republicans for choosing CASA as this year’s beneficiary. Every
dollar raised helps us ensure that we have a community volunteer trained and ready to walk alongside any child who needs a voice and an advocate.”

Plans are already underway for next year’s scramble, continuing the tradition of bringing the community together for a worthy cause.
