OAKLAND — Messalonskee High School’s girls soccer team held its sixth annual ShineOn Saturday Sept. 18 at the school, honoring former Messalonskee soccer player Cassidy Charette by hosting a mentoring day.
Girls, in grade pre-K to 5, attended the event, organized each year by the Messalonskee Girls Soccer teams and the ShineOnCass Foundation.
Charette was a leading Eagle mid-fielder and youth mentor before she was killed in a hayride accident in 2014.
The foundation was created to educate, inspire and empower youth to shine their own light through acts of kindness and volunteer charitable activities.
