Dr. Phil and Robin Named Spokespersons for National CASA’s Forgotten Children Campaign

SEATTLE, WA (May 27, 2008) – Psychologist Dr. Phil McGraw, the host of the very successful syndicated daytime talk show DR. PHIL, and his wife Robin McGraw, bestselling author and frequent contributor to DR. PHIL, have been named official spokespersons for the Forgotten Children campaign, it was announced today by National CASA chief executive officer Michael Piraino.

For too many Americans, children in foster care are all but forgotten. National Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) Association intends to change that with the May launch of the national campaign Forgotten Children, created to raise awareness of foster children and to aid in the recruitment of much- needed CASA volunteer advocates who work together with the court system in the best interests of foster children.

Dr. Phil and Robin McGraw have a long-standing interest in improving the lives of foster children, and putting family first. On May 28th, Michael Piraino will join the McGraws on a special episode of DR. PHIL (check local listings) to announce their participation in the campaign, and to issue a challenge to all viewers who they hope will be inspired to help.

“We very much appreciate the wonderful foster parents who give children who need it a soft place to land,” Dr. McGraw said. “But not everyone can make that kind of commitment. We want kind and caring people to know there is still a way to help – and that is by becoming trained as a CASA special advocate to be the eyes and ears of the court.”
