Take the 10 Years of Light Survey... and win SWAG!
It's hard to imagine it has been 10 years since the passing of Cassidy, and the incredible Light that has emerged through the creation of the ShineOnCass Foundation. As we look to the next decade of Shining On, we would like to hear from you! Please consider taking a short but important survey. Your response will be vital in determining how and where Cassidy's Light will Shine On in the next 10 years. PLUS! Every person who takes the survey will be entered into a drawing to win ShineOnCass SWAG!
