Cassie Bright Society

Her name was Cassie. In 1901 – after the deaths of both parents – she became the first child to join our family. She was 11 years old when she arrived to Methodist Orphanage, now Methodist Home for Children, on January 7, 1901, from Winsteadville.

Today the Cassie Bright Society recognizes friends who are committed to supporting Methodist Home for Children through a will bequest, trust, charitable gift annuity, retirement plan, or insurance policy.
