Founder of Casey Cares Foundation Honored Baltimore, MD – Sept. 27 …Casey Baynes, Founder and Executive Director of the Casey Cares Foundation, was named as one of this year’s 40 Under 40 outstanding professionals by the Baltimore Business Journal. Ms. Baynes founded the Casey Cares Foundation, a charity that provides uplifting and heartwarming programs with a special touch for critically ill children and their families.
Ms. Baynes was selected from a group of more than 225 nominees as one of the region’s most successful 40 professionals under the age of 40. She was recognized for her business success and personal accomplishments as well as community contributions. Receiving her master’s degree by the age of 20, Casey forged ahead into the business world, but soon realized she “missed the feeling of reaching out and touching families.” Since 2000, the Casey Cares Foundation has touched the lives of over 3,400 critically ill children and their families in six states with their programs of Family Festivities, Birthday Blasts, Celebration Vacations and Better Together.
