WATERVILLE — More than 500 players plan to join the 11-hour, continuous soccer game Kick For Cass on Saturday, July 13, at Thomas College.
The annual event is held in memory of Cassidy Charette, former midfielder for Messalonskee High School girls soccer team who wore the #11 jersey before her passing in a hayride accident on Oct. 11, 2014.
High school soccer teams from around the state will play from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. in a round-robin style. Community teams of club soccer, adult leagues, local organizations, Charette’s friends and neighbors, and her former soccer teammates will round out the final hours from 3-7 p.m., according to a news release from Monica Charette with the ShineOnCass Foundation.
The final hour will feature a walk-out ceremony and a friendly competition between Cassidy’s former soccer teammates from Messalonskee High School against her Central Maine United Premiere Soccer team. Spectators are welcome all day. A food truck will be onsite from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., and Messalonskee Robotics Club will provide concessions throughout the event.
The inclement weather date is Sunday, July 14.
Kick for Cass is presented by Golden Pond Wealth Management, Central Maine Motors Auto Group, Kennebec Savings Bank, Hammond Lumber, Surette Real Estate, Central Maine United Soccer, and host, Thomas College. The event is also supported by Field Sponsors Camden National Bank and Darci and Dana Michaud. Proceeds from the event will support the CMU ShineOnCass Soccer Scholarship.
