2026 Heart of CASA Award Recipient

Gerri Pasi

Geralyn “Gerri” Pasi has championed CASA of Kent County’s mission through leadership and engagement for nearly two decades. Beginning her term as a board member in 2008, Gerri lead CASA through a period of growth after the organization first became a stand-alone 501©3 nonprofit. Gerri was an integral member of the team that established CASA’s endowment fund to ensure organizational sustainability for years to come. Following her board service, Gerri has remained a steadfast supporter in a multitude of ways. Gerri connects community members to CASA, continues to attend events, and can always be counted on to leave an encouraging comment on CASA social media accounts. She even served as interim Executive Director during a period of organizational transition. Gerri’s commitment to CASA’s mission of advocacy is clear, and we are excited to honor the legacy she has created on October 8.
