Domestic Violence Awareness Scavenger Hunt
2025-11-15 12:00 - 15:30
Save the Date! CASA Marion’s first-ever Scavenger Hunt is coming this fall!
Tickets are only $35 and include Scavenger Hunt entry, exclusive local artist t-shirt, and access to the after party award ceremony with lunch provided!

Build your team and raise critical funds for our community’s domestic violence survivors. Wrap up Domestic Violence Awareness Month with CASA’s Scavenger Hunt on November 15. Traverse downtown Ocala with your team earning points, discovering local gems, and celebrating our city’s rich history.
This is a child-friendly event.

How It Works
Teams check in at Citizen’s Circle from 11:30am to noon. At check-in, teams receive bags with CASA Marion goodies, including an item that they’ll need for the scavenger hunt. At noon, the game begins! To respond to photo-op challenges, teams use the Eventzee app (instructions for using the app are emailed to teams upon registration).
Photo op challenges look like the following example: “This store is named after a character from Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. Take a photo with a purple treat for domestic violence awareness.” Teams would upload this photo into the relevant challenge on Eventzee, where a CASA Marion volunteer will check to ensure that the photo meets the challenge requirements. If so, the team receives points for that challenge.
Prizes awarded for top fundraising team, top scoring team, and best team costume.

Get a head start on the competition and start fundraising today! Share your fundraising page with family, friends, on social media, to your coworkers. Every dollar directly supports CASA’s mission of Standing Up to Silence to create a Violence Free Marion.

Date: Saturday, November 15
Event Kick Off: 12pm | Citizen’s Circle | SE Osceola Ave
After Party & Award Ceremony: 3pm | Midtown Station | 235 NE Watula Ave

Hope for the Holidays
2025-11-25 - 2025-12-23 | CASA Marion Outreach Office, 717 SW MLK Jr. Blvd. Bldg 6, Ocala, FL, 34471, United States
THANK YOU FOR THINKING OF THE MANY SURVIVORS RECEIVING CASA SERVICES DURING THE HOLIDAYS!

We realize that part of overcoming the power and control of an abuser, is to let the survivor choose what is best for them and their children.

This year, CASA is asking that anyone who would like to contribute to making our participants’ holidays a little brighter donate Walmart, Amazon, Visa, Target, Gas, or Publix gift cards in increments of $25.

These cards will be given to participants to allow them to choose just the right toy or gift for their child. This model of empowerment that CASA uses daily is the process of becoming stronger, independent, and more confident, especially in controlling one’s life. This will be the first holiday season free from abuse for many survivors.

Help give the power, control, and the joy of gift-giving back to survivors as they recover from the trauma of domestic violence.

Drop off: 717 SW MLK Jr. Blvd., Bldg 6, Ocala, FL 34471
