Celebrating 20 Years with Erin Webb Ritter

Some people come into your life and become such an important part of the journey that it’s hard to imagine how things would look without them. For Casey Cares, Erin Webb Ritter is one of those people.

This year, Erin celebrates her 20th anniversary with Casey Cares! When Erin first joined Casey Cares two decades ago, we were still a small organization with a big dream. We wanted to create uplifting experiences and meaningful moments for critically ill children and their families who were facing the battle of their lives. Erin believed in that vision from the very beginning and immediately rolled up her sleeves to help make it happen.

Over the years, Erin has become so much more than a colleague. She has been a steady leader, a trusted partner, and someone who truly cares about the families we serve. Her compassion, dedication, and behind-the-scenes work have helped Casey Cares grow into what it is today, supporting families in more than 40 states and providing hundreds of programs each week that give children and their families something joyful to look forward to.

What I admire most about Erin is the heart she brings to everything she does. She understands that every activity, every surprise, and every moment we create for a family matters more than we may ever fully realize.

For 20 years, Erin has helped make those moments possible. I feel incredibly lucky to have Erin by my side on this journey. Building Casey Cares has always been about the people who believe in the mission and show up every day ready to make a difference, and Erin is truly one of the very best.

Erin, thank you for twenty amazing years. Casey Cares is stronger because of you, and so many families have felt your impact along the way.

Here’s to the next chapter, and to many more special moments for the brave children and families we are honored to serve!
