Shining a Light During Covid-19 

Blue Heart Project 2020

​ShineOnCass Foundation was honored to partner with #HealthCareHeroes, a national grassroots effort to recognize, unite and thank healthcare providers around the globe for their heroism during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Our volunteers prepared and delivered thousands of blue hearts to employees at MaineGeneral Medical Center, Redington Fairview General Hospital, St. Joseph’s Nursing Home and other community providers, like Maine Eye Doctors. If you’d like to receive blue hearts for your healthcare employee badges in our community, please contact us at shineoncass@gmail.com!   #ShineOnCass

Kindness Matters
​Bookmark Project

​Belgrade Central Elementary School Teacher Mrs. Lachance Shines Cassidy's Light every day in her 4th grade classroom. As Cassidy's friend and now a member of the Board of the ShineOnCass Foundation, Mrs. Lachance proudly shares the story of how Cassidy devoted her short life to service and kindness. She explains how Cassidy’s friends and family look for ways to shine her light, and their own, into the world. 

Inspired, the students researched kindness initiatives and decided on creating Kindness Matters bookmarks with special messages. Each student then secretly places these messages inside books in their library, for the next reader to find!  

Mrs. Lachance's students are hopeful other classes, schools and libraries will adopt their project -- maybe even find their bookmark! But mostly, they are proud to be the first class to launch this special ShineOnCass Kindness project. Shine On!

If you’d like ShineOnCass Kindness Matters Bookmarks to personalize and share in your school or local library, you can DOWNLOAD SHINEONCASS BOOKMARKS HERE or EMAIL US to request printed materials.

ShineOnCass bookmarks have been spotted in local libaries and recently in this book in a Little Lending Library in Augusta, Maine!
