Perhaps you've driven around the square in downtown Clinton and noticed the large as life playhouse set up on the square.

The CASA playhouse is up for raffle through the Macon County CASA program that late last year expanded into DeWitt County. Executive Director Julia Livingston explains there is one playhouse in Clinton and two more in Decatur that is up for raffle in what is a 20-plus year fundraiser for the organization.

According to Livingston, the houses are raffled off but the organization also gets sponsors for the houses, and that provides a revenue stream for this fundraiser as well. She notes if you purchase more than one raffle ticket, you can choose which houses raffle you register for.

The playhouses are professionally designed, built, and painted and Livingston indicates the materials are professional grade and are donated.

The CASA playhouse fundraiser is the biggest fundraiser of the year for the organization and funds raised go back into each community they are raised in and helps Macon County CASA in its overall mission of being there for abused and neglected children in Macon and DeWitt Counties.
