Those at CASA of the Southern Tier, Inc. had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Sharon Zaffarese-Dippold at our 2025 Volunteer Recognition Dinner.  She touched everyone in the room with her foster care/abuse history and her resilience.  Dr. Sharon Zaffarese-Dippold moved numerous times in and out of the foster care system, the one constant being her sole means of transport--the hated garbage bag. This series explores all types of abuse patterns she encountered and her rise above.

Dr. Sharon Zaffarese Dippold has agreed to donate 10% of her latest book, “Just Another Door” to help our local CASA.  Please pick up the book (or the series) and support CASA.

Abused and neglected children need your voice. 
CASA of the Southern Tier works to provide that voice by recruiting, training, and supporting volunteer advocates to work with children who have been abused or neglected by their primary care provider. 
These volunteers work to ensure that the children they work with are able to find a safe, permanent home as quickly as possible. The best ways to support our program are to attend events, donate, and become a volunteer. Check out the buttons on the side to help today!
