OAKLAND — Messalonskee High School girls soccer held its fifth annual “ShineOn Saturday” Oct. 3 at Pleasant Point Park in Oakland — honoring former Messalonskee High School soccer player Cassidy Charette — by hosting a girls youth soccer mentoring day. Charette was a leading Eagle mid-fielder and a youth mentor before she was killed in a hayride accident Oct. 11, 2014. Girls, ages pre-kindergarten to grade 5, attended the event, organized by the Messalonskee girls soccer teams and the ShineOnCass Foundation.
The foundation was created to educate, inspire and empower youth to shine their own light through acts of kindness and volunteer charitable activities. For more information about the foundation or becoming involved in ShineOnCass initiatives, visit shineoncass.org or email shineoncass@gmail.com.
