THE WITTKOP FAMILY

Children's Champion

Supporting CASA OC is truly a family commitment for the Wittkops. Courtney Wittkop has served the organization in countless ways — as a staff member, Holiday Luncheon Chair, and member of the CASA OC Board of Directors, where she has taken on multiple leadership roles.

 

Her husband, Andrew, has also been an active supporter, volunteering at the CASA back-to-school picnic and recruiting colleagues from PIMCO to get involved. The family’s generosity has been further amplified through matching gifts from PIMCO, extending the impact of their financial contributions.

Their children, Amelia (14) and Owen (12), have grown up alongside CASA OC. For years, they have supported the organization through Kids for CASA including selling pinwheels for CASA's annual Pinwheel Project and volunteering to help set-up at CASA's youth picnic and holiday party.

In recognition of their extraordinary dedication and collective impact, the entire Wittkop family will be honored with the Children’s Champion Award at this year’s CASA Celebration.
